Herro recorded 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to Charlotte.

Herro led Milwaukee in scoring while tying for the team lead in rebounds, delivering an encouraging performance from beyond the arc. The veteran guard has the opportunity to play a prominent offensive role for the Bucks this season, and his combination of scoring and perimeter shooting should provide considerable fantasy value.

Watson recorded six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 22 minutes as a starter during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.

Watson struggled with his shot, particularly from beyond the arc, but contributed defensively with a pair of steals. His defensive contributions offer fantasy appeal, though inconsistent offensive production could limit his overall upside.

Proctor finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.

Proctor saw limited action for the second consecutive preseason contest, suggesting he remains on the outside looking in for a regular rotation spot. With Cleveland featuring several established backcourt options, the young guard appears unlikely to command meaningful fantasy value without injuries opening additional opportunities.

Hezonja recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 17 minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.

Hezonja bounced back from a difficult preseason debut, contributing across the board while shooting efficiently from beyond the arc. The veteran forward displayed the versatility Cleveland hopes to utilize in its second unit, and Sunday's performance should help his case for consistent rotation minutes. However, his fantasy outlook will depend on how much playing time he can secure in a crowded Cavaliers rotation.

The Cavaliers waived Jones on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Jones joined Cleveland on a training camp deal in September but will not make the team's opening-night roster. The 25-year-old guard is expected to join the Cleveland Charge of the G League for the 2026-27 campaign, where he'll look to develop his game and potentially earn another NBA opportunity.

The Cavaliers waived Richmond on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Richmond signed with Cleveland in September but was unable to secure a spot on the regular-season roster. The 25-year-old guard is expected to join the Cleveland Charge of the G League, where he'll have an opportunity to continue his development while remaining within the Cavaliers' organization.

Branham finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-105 preseason loss to Cleveland.

Branham made efficient use of his limited playing time, contributing offensively while collecting two offensive rebounds. However, the guard faces considerable competition for minutes in Orlando's crowded backcourt, leaving his regular-season role uncertain.

Bryant exited Saturday's 102-98 preseason loss to Phoenix after rolling his right ankle in the first half and did not return, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Bryant suffered the injury after stepping on teammate Devin Vassell's foot and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. However, McDonald suggested the decision was precautionary rather than indicative of a serious injury, while coach Mitch Johnson also characterized the early exit as precautionary. The second-year forward's status for Monday's preseason matchup against Utah remains uncertain, though there is currently no indication of a prolonged absence.

Richardson recorded 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes as a starter during Sunday's 119-105 preseason loss to Cleveland.

Richardson made a positive impression in his starting opportunity with Jalen Suggs (illness) and Anthony Black (ankle) out, shooting efficiently from the field while contributing as a playmaker. The young guard also committed just two turnovers despite handling significant minutes, strengthening his case for a meaningful role in Orlando's backcourt rotation.

Carter finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason loss to Cleveland.

Carter struggled to find his shooting touch but contributed as a facilitator, recording four assists without committing a turnover. The veteran guard continues to compete for backcourt minutes, though his limited offensive production and Orlando's guard depth could restrict his fantasy value heading into the regular season.
