Doug McDermott News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Likely to play vs. Nuggets McDermott (thumb) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact After two consecutive absences due to a right thumb sprain, the veteran should be back on the floor Friday. Since Feb. 1, McDermott's averaged 8.3 points, 1.7 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 20.4 minutes.

Out Sunday McDermott (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact This will mark the second straight game on the sidelines for McDermott, and with Jeremy Sochan (knee) joining him on the inactive list, Keldon Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop should get all the run they can handle. McDermott's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nuggets.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Houston McDermott (thumb) is out for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott won't play Saturday due to a right thumb sprain he suffered against the Pacers. Keita Bates-Diop will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. McDermott's next chance to suit up is Sunday's rematch with Houston.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Thursday McDermott has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Pacers with a sprained right thumb, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott will finish Thursday's contest scoreless (0-3 FG) with one assist in just seven minutes of action. Keita Bates-Diop and Devin Vassell figure to see more minutes for the rest of the tilt. McDermott's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Rockets in the opening leg of a back-to-back set.

Pops for 19 points in win McDermott supplied 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt) and three rebounds over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 win over Utah.

Impact McDermott turned back the clock in the win, dropping 19 points, including five triples. Before managers go tripping over themselves to pick him up, it should be noted that this was his highest scoring game since late October. His minutes shift from one game to the next, meaning his ROS outlook is far from certain. At best, he should be viewed as a potential streaming option for anyone desperate for points and threes.

Pours in 17 points in return McDermott (Achilles) finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and three rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets.

Impact McDermott had a strong showing in his return from a two-game absence, offering a lift on the second unit with his fourth-best scoring output of the season. The 31-year-old forward likely isn't viewed as a high-priority option for the rebuilding Spurs, so he could see his minutes dip following the All-Star break, when San Antonio will return the likes of Devin Vassell (knee), Tre Jones (foot) and Romeo Langford (adductor) to the rotation at some point.

Good to go against Charlotte McDermott is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with right Achilles soreness. The veteran forward is averaging 7.6 points, 2.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.6 minutes across his previous five appearances.

Iffy against Charlotte McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact McDermott is questionable to miss his third straight game due to right Achilles soreness. Dominic Barlow and Keita Bates-Diop have seen extended minutes in his absence. If McDermott is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Feb. 23 against Dallas.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out McDermott (Achilles) is out for Monday's contest against the Cavaliers, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact The veteran forward will officially miss his second straight game as he tends to an Achilles injury. McDermott's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Hornets.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday's contest McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Cleveland, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott suffered the Achilles injury during Friday's loss to the Pistons and was sidelined for the Spurs' subsequent contest Saturday. He's one of a handful of players on San Antonio's injury report, so it's currently unclear what Greg Popovich's rotation will look like versus the Cavaliers.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday McDermott won't play in Saturday's game against the Hawks due to right Achilles soreness, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact McDermott suffered the injury in Friday's 138-131 double-overtime loss to the Pistons, tallying seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in 19 minutes. The severity of his injury isn't yet known, so he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Spurs' upcoming two-game slate next week prior to the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Friday McDermott tweaked his right Achilles and will not return Friday against the Pistons according to Paul Garcia of Project Spurs.

Impact The veteran sharpshooter played 19 minutes before leaving the contest for good, finishing with seven points, two assists, one rebound and one three-pointer. If McDermott ends up missing additional time, we could see more of Keita Bates-Diop and Stanley Johnson.

Sinks three treys in loss McDermott supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The veteran forward continues to supply an outside shooting threat for the Spurs, although he could be filling that role for a contender after Thursday's trade deadline. McDermott has drained multiple threes in six of the last nine games while shooting 41.5 percent from beyond the arc, but he doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective.

Drills three triples in loss McDermott finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes in Monday's 147-127 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact McDermott came off the bench to make his third appearance for the Spurs following a one-game absence due to a back issue. He turned in by far his best fantasy line of the three games Monday, but it took a flawless shooting night from downtown to get there. Even still, McDermott remained under 20 minutes and barely contributed elsewhere around the box score, which has been a familiar refrain throughout his career. McDermott isn't a player to monitor outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues, or on nights with a low volume of games where managers are looking to stream a player for three-pointers.

Tabbed as questionable McDermott (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott missed Sunday's contest due to back soreness and is at risk of missing a second straight game. In his absence, Josh Richardson logged 21 points over 30 minutes and would be in line for another expanded role if McDermott sits.
