Back in rotation Wednesday Waters ended Wednesday's 132-119 win over the Lakers with one rebound in one minute.

Impact Waters moved back into the rotation, albeit for one minute during garbage time. It's been a quiet season for Waters, typically seeing the court either in garbage time or when someone is dealing with foul issues. In his 12 appearances, Waters is averaging just 2.1 points in 6.9 minutes.

Ho-hum season continues Waters recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across six minutes during Friday's 130-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Waters continues to be a non-factor for the Spurs, having exceeded double-digit playing time only twice through his first 11 appearances. Based on what we have seen thus far, it's hard to see him being an every-night part of the rotation once the team is back to full health.

Drills two treys in debut Waters (eyes) finished with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Waters -- who had missed San Antonio's first six games while recovering from a bilateral eye procedure -- was one of three Spurs players to make his season debut Wednesday, as Jeremy Sochan (wrist) and Kelly Olynyk (heel) were also cleared to suit up. While the Spurs are without De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) and Dylan Harper (calf) for the foreseeable future, Waters looks like he'll have a chance to stick around in the San Antonio rotation, but he'll be a prime candidate to see his limited minutes get cut once the team draws closer to full health. Waters is a perimeter threat with a 36.8 percent conversion rate from three-point range for his career, but he's historically offered little help in other categories.

Impact Waters will make his season debut after an eye injury kept him out of the start of the 2025-26 campaign. However, he is not expected to be a big part of the rotation, meaning his debut won't have much fantasy significance.

Impact Waters has yet to make his regular-season debut after undergoing eye surgery back in October, but this is the first time he's being listed as questionable, which suggests he's getting close. Waters is not expected to be a significant part of the rotation in San Antonio.

Draws start in win Waters finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes of Monday's 119-88 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.

Impact With the Spurs missing several key players, both Waters and Justin Champagnie drew rare starts for this exhibition. Waters, who is on a one-year minimum deal, is expected to be on the outside looking in for the rotation on Opening Night, though that could change depending on player availability.

Impact A 36.6 percent shooter from three-point range over parts of four seasons in the league, Waters will provide the Spurs with a perimeter threat on the wing. The 27-year-old is unlikely to be regularly featured in the rotation, however, with most of his opportunities to play extended minutes expected to come when the Spurs are without multiple key guards and forwards.
