Out vs. Heat McDermott (ankle) is out for Thursday's action against the Heat.

Questionable for Thursday McDermott is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Miami due to a sprained right ankle, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

Impact McDermott picked up the injury during Tuesday's narrow loss to the Warriors in which he played just 19 minutes -- his fewest in any game since Dec. 26. The Spurs will wait to see how the ankle responds over the next 24 hours before making a call on his status.

Picks up slack sans Murray, White McDermott put up a team-high 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes Sunday in the Spurs' 115-110 loss to the Suns.

Impact With regular backcourt starters Dejounte Murray (ankle) and Derrick White (rest) sitting out, the Spurs turned to McDermott, Lonnie Walker (22 points) and Keldon Johnson (16 points) as their primary sources of offense. Though both McDermott and Walker were able to get their points efficiently, both will see notable downturns in touches Tuesday against the Warriors, when White and Murray are likely to rejoin the lineup.

Struggles in loss McDermott ended Wednesday's 118-110 loss to the Grizzlies with six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Since his return to action, McDermott has failed to make a consistent impact despite a few standout scoring performances. Unsurprisingly, coach Gregg Popovich continues to confound by sticking with McDermott instead of promoting Devin Vassell, who is vastly outperforming McDermott at the position.

Scores 20 points Wednesday McDermott ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-96 victory over the Thunder.

Impact This was the first time since Oct. 23 in which McDermott has reached the 20-point mark, as the Creighton product played well and posted double figures offensively for a second straight matchup. McDermott also got back on track by drilling six threes, which was one short of tying a season best.

Quiet in win over Clips McDermott posted four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist over 23 minutes during Saturday's 101-94 win over the Clippers.

Impact McDermott was back in the starting lineup for the second straight game after missing seven straight contests, but he wasn't able to do much with his 23 minutes of action. The sharpshooter had a nice run last month -- 12.8 PPG, 2.2 3PM/G from Dec. 2 to Dec. 27 -- but when he's not knocking down threes at a high-volume clip, he offers very little fantasy value.

Absent from injury report McDermott (COVID-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott has missed the past seven games due to the health and safety protocols, but he's set to retake the court Friday. The 29-year-old may face some workload limitations given it's been two weeks since he's seen game action.
