Not on injury report Poeltl is not listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Monday's game against Phoenix
Impact A back issue kept Poeltl out of Saturday's contest, but it doesn't look to be anything of real concern, and Poeltl should be back in the starting lineup at his usual center spot. In his last game Friday against Cleveland, Poeltl finished scoreless but had 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks.

Out Saturday Poeltl (back) is out Saturday against the Clippers, Noah Magaro-George of Pounding the Rock reports.
Impact Poeltl's last missed game was Nov. 16. In his absence, more minutes will be available for Jock Landale and Drew Eubanks.
JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Saturday Poeltl (back) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Poeltl was held scoreless with 12 rebounds in 33 minutes during Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, and he sustained a back injury during the contest. If he's ultimately sidelined Saturday, Jock Landale, Drew Eubanks and Thaddeus Young should see additional work.

Held scoreless in loss Poeltl logged zero points (0-4 FG), 12 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 114-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact The defensive combination of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley did a number on Poeltl's stat line in Friday's loss. Although his three blocked shots and double-digit rebounding total salvaged his fantasy totals to a degree, his inability to sink a basket is slightly concerning. Poeltl hasn't laid a goose egg in over a year, with his last zero total coming at the hands of the Lakers last January.
