Cryer posted six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and two assists across three minutes during Monday's 134-114 victory over Denver.

Cryer saw a bit of garbage-time run in this blowout win. With Golden State's backcourt fully healthy, Cryer lacks a clear path to playing time in the early going.

Fall (quadriceps) was able to practice on Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Fall, who is on a two-way contract, is nearing a return to the floor for Philadelphia. He projects as an emergency depth option when the 76ers are shorthanded.

Edgecombe (abdomen) practiced in full Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

This is a good sign ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pacers. The second-year guard was unable to suit up Sunday, and if he's unable to return Wednesday, guys like Anfernee Simons and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could see increased run.

Markovic was recalled from the G League on Monday.

Markovic spent the day with the Herd for practice and was immediately recalled. He remains well off the fantasy radar.

White (right hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

White is a little banged up from Monday's game against the Bulls in which he turned the ball over six times in 18 minutes. However, the veteran guard intends to play through the issue for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

DeRozan ended Monday's 134-114 loss to Golden State with 21 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes.

DeRozan led Denver in scoring despite coming off the bench, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time this season. The veteran forward also knocked down two three-pointers and contributed three combined steals and blocks. Although his reserve role could limit his overall fantasy ceiling, DeRozan remains capable of providing consistent scoring production.

Hopkins had 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Monday's 134-114 loss to the Warriors.

Hopkins delivered an efficient scoring performance in his starting role, reaching double figures for Denver while committing zero turnovers. However, the forward offered little production outside the scoring column and finished without a steal or block. Hopkins' substantial playing time is encouraging, but he'll need to contribute more consistently across multiple categories to establish reliable fantasy value.

Murray recorded 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 134-114 loss to the Warriors.

Murray turned in an efficient performance, shooting 61.5 percent from the field while leading Denver in assists and steals. The veteran guard also connected on three triples and collected six rebounds, providing well-rounded fantasy production despite the lopsided defeat. Murray continues to serve as a primary offensive facilitator alongside Nikola Jokic.

Leonard (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to swelling in his left knee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Raptors will take a cautious approach with Leonard's recovery following interruptions to his offseason preparation. The veteran forward was a late scratch for Sunday's loss to Minnesota and now faces an extended absence just two games into the 2026-27 campaign. Allen Graves, who started in Leonard's place Sunday, figures to benefit from additional playing time, while RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes could absorb more offensive responsibility. An update on his progress can be expected in one week when the Raptors re-evaluate him.

Thompson (ankle) was a full participant at Tuesday's shootaround, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Thompson remains questionable on the latest injury report, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. If he's unable to give it a go, the Pistons could turn to guys like Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter.
