The NBA is weighing three bids for a Las Vegas expansion team, according to Shams Charania. The injury report cleared Miami's Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo along with Chicago's Dailyn Swain, while Houston's Steven Adams was cleared and then relisted as Day-To-Day. Preseason rosters added several players, led by Lester Quinones joining the Heat.

Miami cleared both starters from its Day-To-Day list: Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo are off the injury report. Chicago also cleared Dailyn Swain, who had been Day-To-Day. Houston's Steven Adams moved twice in the report: first cleared from Day-To-Day, then relisted as Day-To-Day. Detroit has Jalen Duren as Day-To-Day, with the report listing his absence as not injury related. Indiana's Larry Nance Jr. is Day-To-Day with a hamstring issue in his leg, per the report.
