Lindy Waters III News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs | FOX Sports

Explodes for 25 points Waters provided 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Waters has been playing well off the bench of late and reached double digits in scoring for the third game in a row. However, the 25-point output was easily a season-best mark for the Oklahoma State product, as he hadn't even reached the 20-point plateau earlier this season.

Shines against Nuggets Waters supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Waters tied his career high with four three-pointers in the loss, and he notched a new career-best mark with three steals. The rookie posted his fourth game of double-digit points across 19 appearances this season. With Oklahoma City eliminated from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get more opportunity down the stretch, though he's already been playing a healthy 21.3 minutes over 13 games in March.

Well-rounded performance off bench Waters ended with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 90-85 loss to the Magic.

Impact Waters saw a slight uptick in playing time Sunday after logging no more than 12 minutes in either of his last two appearances. He stepped up with a double-digit scoring total while matching his season high on the boards. Across his five appearances since returning to a bench role, the 24-year-old has averaged 7.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game.

Set for first NBA start Waters will start Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Brandon Rahbar of Daily Thunder reports.

Impact With Tre Mann, Josh Giddey (hip) and Kenrich Williams (knee) all sidelined, the depleted Thunder will roll with Waters alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aaron Wiggins, Darius Bazley and Isaiah Roby. It will be the first NBA start for the undrafted Oklahoma State product, who's coming off of a career-high 16 points in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bucks.

Scores bench-leading 16 points Waters poured in 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and added three rebounds and a steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 142-115 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Thunder reserves received increased playing time after the Bucks turned the game into a blowout just a few minutes into the fourth quarter, with Waters taking advantage of the garbage-time run to establish a new career high in scoring. Oklahoma City was down seven players Tuesday due to injury, and Tre Mann (ankle) was added to the list of wounded players ahead of Wednesday's game in Minnesota. Waters looks like he'll continue to hold down a rotation role for the next several contests while the Thunder are at less-than-optimal health.

Logs career-high 27 minutes Waters had five points (2-9 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 138-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Waters featured heavily in the rotation Friday but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. While his role has increased over the past two weeks, he has not been a threat when it comes to cracking into the fantasy landscape. For now, managers in deeper formats should just keep an eye on the playing time to see if the role stabilizes moving forward.
