Unavailable vs. Suns Poeltl has been ruled out Sunday against Phoenix due to low back soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Poeltl was dominant in Friday's win over the Bulls, as he posted 21 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and a block in 32 minutes. However, he apparently sustained a back injury during the matchup, which should lead to increased work for Jock Landale and Drew Eubanks in the frontcourt Sunday.

Dominates in Friday's win Poeltl supplied 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 131-122 win over the Bulls.

Impact Poeltl was magnificent again for the Spurs, guiding them to an impressive victory. He is currently in the midst of probably the best stretch of his career. He has scored in double-digits in seven straight games, blocking a combined 20 shots during that time. Obviously, the free-throw shooting remains an issue, but managers should have been prepared for that when drafting him. As an efficient, shot-blocking big man, there are very few better options out there right now.
