Efficient night shooting in win Langford logged 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-109 win over Detroit.

Impact Langford has steadily improved his field goal percentage throughout the season, and that continued Thursday, as he shot 58% from the field on 12 attempts. With Devin Vassell set to undergo surgery, Langford seems to be the primary beneficiary, and should see an increase in fantasy value for the time being.

Will maintain starting spot Langford will keep a spot in the starting five while Devin Vassell (knee) is sidelined, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Langford got his third start in the last four games Wednesday versus the Knicks, and it appears that's a trend that will continue until Vassell returns in mid-February. Langford can occasionally churn out a solid fantasy stat line, but he hasn't proven able to do so consistently enough at this juncture to warrant fantasy consideration in most formats.

Joining first unit Langford will enter the starting five for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Langford will make his 10th start of the season with Devin Vassell (knee) sidelined. As a starter, Langford has averaged 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Back to bench Langford will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Langford drew a pair of spot starts due to the absence of Devin Vassell (knee), but he'll return to a bench role with Vassell returning to action. Langford has scored in double figures off the bench in only two of 11 games this season.

Delivers career-best 23 points Langford closed with 23 points (11-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 win over the Knicks.

Impact Langford was an unexpected savior Thursday, stepping into the starting lineup after Devin Vassell was ruled out with a knee injury. Langford produced a career-high 23 points after scoring a combined 11 points in his previous four outings. While this performance was impressive, fantasy managers should not go chasing him on the waiver wire given he was barely in the rotation prior to Thursday. At best, he could be streamed in if Vassell misses additional time.

Spurs overcome Randle's 41, hand Knicks fifth straight loss

Keldon Johnson had 30 points and the San Antonio Spurs overcame a season-high 41 points from Julius Randle to beat New York 122-115 handing the Knicks their fifth straight loss

Drawing spot start Thursday Langford is starting Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Langford wasn't much of a factor in San Antonio's last contest Tuesday against the Thunder, but he'll get a chance to run with the first unit due to the absence of Devin Vassell (knee). Langford's last start took place Dec. 22 against the Pelicans, when he posted two points, two rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes of action.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Squeezed out of rotation Langford (coach's decision) went unused in Monday's 126-122 win over the Jazz.

Impact After starting in each of his last five appearances, Langford has now failed to get off the bench in two straight contests. The fourth-year wing looks to be passed up in the Spurs' wing rotation by rookie Malaki Branham, who reached the 20-minute mark Monday for the fourth time in the past five contests.

Slides to bench role Langford will slot into ta bench role Friday versus the Magic.

Impact Langford had started his previous five appearances for the Spurs, but Keldon Johnson is back in action Friday and will take his spot in the starting unit. Langford should still play a healthy role off the bench.

Good to go Thursday Langford (elbow) is available to play in Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Impact Langford has been upgraded from probable to available Thursday with a right elbow injury. The 23-year-old forward will likely remain in the starting lineup with Keldon Johnson (hamstring) out.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Thursday Langford is probable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans due to right knee hypertension, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Langford played 19 minutes Monday after missing the previous two games with an illness. It is unclear if Langford will make his fifth consecutive start if he plays Thursday, as expected.

Starting role reaps very little Langford totaled six points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 124-105 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Langford returned after a two-game absence, sliding back into the starting lineup. Unfortunately, that was where the good news ended as he was unable to deliver from a fantasy perspective. Despite having carved out a consistent role, Langford is simply too volatile to trust as anything but a prospective stream consideration.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Langford (illness) is available for Monday's contest against the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact After missing the team's past two contests, Langford is officially available to make his return to the court. The Indiana product started each of his last three appearances while averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 27.3 minutes per game throughout that span.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Might not play Monday Langford has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to stomach illness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Langford missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but the Spurs are listing him on the latest injury report with a "stomach illness." With Josh Richardson (personal) already ruled out, Langford could step back into a fairly sizable role if he's able to take the floor. Prior to the ankle injury, Langford had started three straight games, averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in that span (27.3 MPG).

Won't play Saturday Langford (ankle) will sit out Saturday's game versus the Heat, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact Langford was deemed questionable initially after practicing Friday, but it appears he hasn't made quite enough progress with his ankle to give it a go. Devin Vassell could line up for the start with Josh Richardson (personal) -- who started in Langford's place Wednesday -- also set to miss the game. Langford's next opportunity to suit up arrives Monday versus the Rockets.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Miami Langford (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Heat, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Langford may return following a one-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. He's started the past three games over Devin Vassell, though the latter may re-enter the lineup Saturday if Langford is shelved again.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing Friday Langford (ankle) is participating in practice Friday, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Langford missed Wednesday's game against Portland due to a left ankle sprain. While he doesn't yet have an official injury designation for Saturday's game against Miami, his return to practice would seemingly have him trending in a positive direction.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Langford (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Langford was listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's matchup, so his status isn't very surprising. Devin Vassell and Josh Richardson are candidates to see increased run Wednesday.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Langford is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Langford has started three straight games, but he struggled his last time out and will likely sit out Wednesday's contest due to an ankle injury. In his expected absence, Devin Vassell will presumably be reinserted into the starting lineup.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up season-high 19 points Langford tallied a season-high 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added six rebounds, one steal and one block in 29 minutes in Saturday's 115-111 win over the Heat.

Impact While making his second consecutive start while head coach Gregg Popovich opted to keep Devin Vassell with the second unit, Langford delivered one of the best outings of his young career. Langford has mostly been viewed as a defensive specialist through his first three-plus seasons in the league, but he's surprisingly offered some solid secondary scoring of late. Over his last five games, he's reached double figures in points on four occasions while shooting 62.9 percent from the field.
