Won't return Friday McDermott will not return to Friday's game against the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain, ESPN's Andrew Lopez reports. He finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) and tw...

Impact The Spurs put this game away early, so the lopsided score could have factored into the decision as well. San Antonio will play again Saturday versus the Bulls, and McDermott should be considered questionable for that one. If he can't suit up, Cedi Osman could be more involved.

Not listed on injury report McDermott (illness) isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott missed back-to-back games last week due to an illness but will return to action Wednesday. The Spurs should be close to full strength, so McDermott will presumably handle his usual role as a floor spacer off the bench.

Remains out Friday McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact McDermott missed Thursday's game against Atlanta due to his illness, and he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set Friday. However, he'll have a few additional days to recover before Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman are candidates for larger roles Friday.

Won't play Thursday McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact McDermott was given a questionable designation a few hours before Thursday's tipoff, and he'll officially be unavailable for the first time this season. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman could see increased work against the Hawks.

Late addition to injury report McDermott is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus Atlanta due to an illness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott is expected to miss his first game of the season Thursday after being a late addition to San Antonio's injury report. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman are candidates to receive extended minutes in his likely absence.

Plays 14 minutes McDermott notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact McDermott has scored in single digits in seven straight games and in 12 of the Spurs' first 15 matchups. The sharpshooter is capable of exploding at any point, but he's just not seeing enough usage to be a reliable fantasy option this season.

Barely visible in loss McDermott registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.

Impact McDermott plodded his way to five points in the loss, another in a long line of underwhelming performances. Averaging just 7.6 points per game this season, McDermott sits well outside the top 250 in standard fantasy formats. Given he doesn't fit the current timeline in San Antonio, there is a decent chance he will be traded away at some point. While a move would at least give him a chance to compete, it is unlikely to change the fact that he is a non-factor outside of extremely deep leagues.

McBuckets sighting McDermott closed Monday's 152-111 loss to the Pacers with 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and four assists over 20 minutes.

Impact McDermott continues to fill a rotational sniper role for the Spurs, knocking down a season-high four triples. He led San Antonio in scoring Monday, but it came in the context of emptying the bench amid a blowout defeat; 14 Spurs logged at least eight minutes.

Scores six points McDermott amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 victory over the Suns.

Impact McDermott's floor spacing is a luxury for the Spurs, and he's been hot to start the season with a 54.5 percent clip from beyond the arc. He hasn't played enough to impact most fantasy leagues, however, as he's averaging 14.3 minutes per contest.

Small impact off bench McDermott finished Monday's preseason game against the Rockets with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 20 minutes.

Impact McDermott was held out of San Antonio's previous exhibition strictly for rest, but he was given the green light for Monday's action. He was unable to get things going on the offensive end, scoring his only basket from beyond the arc, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. McDermott will have two more chances in the preseason to prove he belongs in the team's rotation.

Scores 12 points McDermott logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3PT) and one turnover in 14 minutes in Monday's 122-121 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact It was a solid showing for the veteran sharpshooter. There is increased competition at forward this season with Cedi Osman around, but McDermott will like his chances of being in the rotation because of the floor spacing he provides.

Won't play Thursday McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact McDermott left Tuesday's loss to the Suns with an ankle injury and will be sidelined for at least one additional game. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Minnesota.
