Drummond finished with six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 12 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Philadelphia.

Drummond made his presence felt defensively despite the limited workload. He should provide New York with experienced frontcourt depth behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Kolek recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the 76ers.

Kolek didn't commit a turnover while leading the Knicks in assists. The third-year guard will continue competing for reserve backcourt minutes during the preseason.

Shamet finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt) in 11 minutes during Monday's 120-97 preseason loss to Philadelphia.

Shamet provided a quick scoring punch off the bench and knocked down two of his five attempts from beyond the arc. The veteran guard should remain in the mix for reserve minutes on the wing, with his perimeter shooting being his primary path to playing time.

Cunningham finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's preseason win over Phoenix.

Cunningham played exclusively in the first half as Detroit kept its franchise guard on a limited workload in the preseason opener. Despite the modest production, Cunningham remains the centerpiece of the Pistons' offense and should once again carry a substantial scoring and playmaking workload.

Jenkins finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds in 18 minutes during Monday's preseason win over the Suns.

Jenkins helped Detroit erase a 19-point deficit and connected on a contested three-pointer to tie the game at the end of the third quarter. After emerging as a rotation contributor last season, the 24-year-old will look to secure consistent reserve minutes in a deeper Detroit backcourt.

Robinson recorded nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason win over Phoenix.

Robinson started at shooting guard and knocked down all three of his attempts from beyond the arc before sitting out the second half. The veteran sharpshooter appears positioned to start and should provide valuable spacing around Cade Cunningham.

Bridges finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Detroit.

Bridges started at power forward and scored Phoenix's first seven points before sitting out the second half with the rest of the starters. His ability to contribute as a scorer, rebounder and secondary playmaker should give him a significant role in Phoenix's revamped rotation.

Goodwin recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one assist in 11 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Pistons.

Goodwin made an immediate impact off the bench, grabbing three offensive rebounds and creating havoc defensively. His rebounding and defensive versatility should help him compete for a regular spot in Phoenix's rotation.

Gillespie finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 17 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to Detroit.

Gillespie was efficient while operating with Phoenix's second unit and opened the second half alongside Luke Kennard and Jordan Goodwin. The 27-year-old should remain in the mix for backup point guard minutes after establishing himself as a reliable perimeter shooter last season.

Correcting a previous report, Jackson-Davis (migraines) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Jackson-Davis also missed Saturday's preseason opener against Miami, and it's unclear what's keeping him sidelined. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup with the Clippers.
