DOUG MCDERMOTT NEWS

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.

Good to go against Brookyn McDermott (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.

Impact McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous game with upper back tightness. The veteran forward should be expected to play around 20 minutes.

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.

Won't play Sunday McDermott (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott had scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances, and he averaged 12.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game during that time. Josh Richardson, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop are candidates to see increased run Sunday, while McDermott's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Handed questionable tag McDermott is questionable for Sunday's game against Sacramento due to upper back tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott seems to have tweaked his back in Friday's game against Golden State, during which he tallied 14 points in 22 minutes. If he were to sit, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop would likely earn more minutes.

Efficient scorer off bench McDermott produced 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 144-113 loss to the Warriors.

Impact McDermott was efficient from the field and posted another game in double-digit scoring figures -- his fourth one in the current month. The veteran has averaged 12.5 points per game during his last six outings while seeing at least 20 minutes off the bench each time out. He can be a decent streaming option in deep formats, but his value will primarily be matchup-based in his current role.

Strong effort off bench McDermott supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to New York.

Impact McDermott posted his best scoring performance since Dec. 19 against Houston, and he did so by shooting the ball with efficiency. He knocked down 71.4 percent of his attempts from the field and two of three from downtown. He also notched his first block since Dec. 17 and his first steal since Nov. 26.

Limited in Thursday's return McDermott notched eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and four assists across 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 victory over the Knicks.

Impact McDermott returned after missing the previous game due to a knee injury but managed just eight points. Despite a relatively consistent role off the bench for the Spurs, McDermott has been unable to deliver anything even remotely close to fantasy value. At best, he should be looked at as a desperation stream option when in need of points and triples.

Good to go Thursday McDermott (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Knicks.

Impact McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Tuesday's game with right knee soreness. The veteran forward is averaging 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Won't play Tuesday McDermott (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott will miss his first matchup since Dec. 4 with right knee soreness. In his place, Josh Richardson is a candidate to see increased run versus the Thunder on Tuesday.

Dealing with knee soreness McDermott is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact McDermott scored 14 points in 18 minutes during Monday's win over Utah, but the veteran sharpshooter may be sidelined for the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set. Keldon Johnson (back) is also questionable, so San Antonio's frontcourt may be shorthanded against Oklahoma City.

Goes for 16 points Monday McDermott contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 124-105 win over the Rockets.

Impact McDermott made the most of some lackluster defense, scoring 16 points off the bench, the most he has tallied in almost four weeks. While he has had a couple of moments of relevance this season, the Spurs seem more interested in giving minutes to their young pieces. Barring a shift in mindset, McDermott can be safely left on the wire in all competitive leagues.

Pops for 12 points in return McDermott (ankle) scored 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added three rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes in Thursday's 118-109 win over the Rockets.

Impact McDermott made his first appearance of December after missing both of the Spurs' previous two games with a sore right ankle. Even with starting wing Devin Vassell (knee) sitting out, McDermott wasn't able to take on big minutes, making it difficult to envision his role expanding as the season rolls along. McDermott is best viewed as a streamer for three-pointers in deeper leagues.
