Doncic supplied 23 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Thursday's 114-110 preseason win over the Kings.

Doncic didn't put together his most efficient outing but got to the charity stripe often and finished with a game-high 23 points. However, the star point guard also committed five turnovers. Through two preseason appearances, both against the Kings, he has totaled 44 points, six assists, five rebounds and 10 turnovers in 41 minutes.

Raynaud totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Raynaud turned in a strong final line, leading the Kings on the boards on the way to a double-double while also showcasing his ability to protect the rim. He entered the starting lineup Thursday after Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) was ruled out, and the former took advantage of the opportunity. Raynaud is putting together a solid preseason, totaling 25 points and 18 rebounds across two appearances.

Black (face) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers and did not return, finishing with four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes.

Black took a shot to the face and appeared to have been poked in the eye. He can be considered questionable for Saturday's exhibition against Golden State until the Kings offer an update on his status.

Black went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers after appearing to get poked in the eye, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Black grabbed a rebound and looked to get either hit in the face or poked in the eye, resulting in his removal from the exhibition. He was spotted walking slowly to the locker room after exiting. Black can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Madsen signed a contract with Miami on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Madsen logged 50 appearances playing for the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce a season ago, averaging 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.4 minutes per game. It appears he'll once again be ticketed for the G League, assuming Miami elects to waive the Utah product before the regular season begins.

Flemings finished Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and three steals in 20 minutes.

The rookie point guard got the starting nod in Monday's preseason-opening loss to the Grizzlies, though he retreated to the bench Thursday with CJ McCollum back in action. Flemings turned in a much better performance in his second preseason appearance, closing as the Hawks' second-leading scorer while tying for the game-high marks in assists and steals. He was also far more efficient after shooting just 4-for-11 from the field Monday.

Gilbert didn't play in Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs due to left patella tendinitis, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Gilbert appeared in Atlanta's first preseason matchup Monday against Memphis, but he was unable to go Thursday. He can be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Harper scored 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 19 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Harper was one of six players to score in double digits for the Spurs, and he led all San Antonio players in scoring. No player outside of Carter Bryant logged more than 20 minutes for the Spurs, and Harper doesn't need to log heavy minutes in preseason since he's locked into a prominent role ahead of the 2026-27 season -- even if he's not listed as a starter in the backcourt.

Demin finished with 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and five assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason win over the 76ers.

Demin was one of four starters to score in double digits, though he needed 13 attempts from the field to do so. He also led the Nets with five dimes, a mark he's reached in each of his first two appearances of the preseason.

Brown registered 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to the Nets.

After scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting during his 76ers preseason debut Monday, Brown turned in another productive performance on the offensive end. The star forward led all players in scoring and ranked second on the Sixers in free throws made while knocking down all of his attempts from the charity stripe. Through two preseason outings, he's totaled 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in 41 minutes.
