Could return Monday Poeltl (Achilles) has been listed as probable for Monday's game at Memphis, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Poeltl missed Saturday's game against the Celtics, but the fact that he's been listed as probable gives him a solid chance to return to action. His return would provide quite a boost to the frontcourt, as Poeltl is averaging 10.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game since the start of December.

Won't play Saturday Poeltl will not take the floor Saturday versus the Celtics due to left Achilles bursitis, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Poeltl has missed time previously due to a knee issue, but this is the first mention of an Achilles problem. With the big man sidelined, Zach Collins and Charles Bassey -- who was recalled from the G League on Saturday -- are the likely top candidates to absorb most of his minutes.

Impact Poeltl hasn't been a consistent double-double threat, but the fact that he's posted double-digit points and/or rebounds in each of his last four contests shows he's still a reliable fantasy performer.

Hosts block party Monday Poeltl ended with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 126-122 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Poeltl was a perfect 6-for-6 from the field and missed just one of his five free-throw attempts, yet his best work was as a defender. The big man swatted four shots in the victory, tying his season-high mark. Poeltl finished one rebound shy of a double-double, which would have been his first since a massive 31-point, 14-board performance against Portland on Nov. 15.

Likely to play against New Orleans Poeltl is probable to play in Thursday's game versus the Pelicans due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Poeltl has played the last two games after missing the previous seven due to a knee injury. The 27-year-old big man has started in all 27 of his appearances this season. There is a chance Poeltl sits out Friday's game against Orlando, as it is the second night of a back-to-back.

Battles foul issues Monday Poeltl finished with eight points (4-6 FG), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 22 minutes during Monday's 124-105 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Poeltl was limited to just 22 minutes in the win, hampered by foul trouble once again. Since returning from injury, he has been playing with a minute restriction, something else to factor in when deciphering his lack of production. Given the recent injury and slow uptake, managers may be starting to get a little frustrated, meaning this could be a potential buy-low opportunity.

Gets limited run in return Poeltl (knee) started and played 21 minutes in Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Heat, finishing with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and two steals.

Impact Poeltl was on a minutes cap in his first game since Nov. 26, after a right knee bruise kept him sidelined for the Spurs' previous seven contests. Prior to Saturday, Poeltl had been averaging 27.3 minutes per game for the season, so expect him to return to his normal level of playing time in another contest or two. With Poetl back in action Saturday, Zach Collins moved to the bench after serving as the primary starter while Poeltl was out.
