- Josh Giddey exited in the opening minute of the second half with a left hamstring injury and the team announced he would not return after logging 11 points in 18 minutes.
- Center Zach Collins was unavailable before tipoff with a sprained right big toe, and coach Billy Donovan said he will probably miss several games.
