Luke Kornet News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Removed from injury report Kornet (knee) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Clippers, per Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com.

Impact Kornet is available after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, and it's plausible he'll draw a spot start in the absence of Victor Wembanyama (ankle) on Thursday. For the year, Kornet has averaged 7.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest through 23 games as a starter.

Ruled out versus Warriors Kornet (knee) is listed as out ahead of Wednesday's game against Golden State, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.

Impact Kornet had 10 points, five rebounds and one assist in Monday's 129-114 win over Chicago. However, the veteran won't suit up for the first of a back-to-back for San Antonio, likely returning for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Without Kornet in the equation, Mason Plumlee and Bismack Biyombo are the favorites to see minutes from off the bench behind Victor Wembanyama.
