Copeland (personal) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Copeland will miss his third straight game while he remains away from the team to attend to a family situation. It's not clear if the personal matter will keep Copeland unavailable for the start of the season, but even if he returns before camp concludes, he may have a difficult time cracking coach Jason Kidd's rotation right away.
