Impact Cissoko will miss a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. When healthy, he'll presumably return to the G League, so his absence shouldn't impact San Antonio's rotation.

Sidy Cissoko - Won't be available Sunday Cissoko (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Cissoko was recalled by San Antonio on Saturday, but he'll remain sidelined due to a lingering ankle injury. It's unclear how much time he'll miss, but Cissoko will presumably return to action in the G League whenever he's cleared to suit up again.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Tre Jones - Will draw another start Jones will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Impact With Malaki Branham (ankle) sidelined, Jones drew his first start of the season Thursday and delivered his best all-around performance of the campaign, posting 18 points (7-13 FG), six assists, five rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes. Branham has been cleared to play Sunday, but Jones' standout performance against Milwaukee has earned him at least one more look in the starting lineup. If Jones remains a starter moving forward, he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Sochan - Good to go Sunday Sochan (quad) will play Sunday versus Cleveland.
Impact Sochan's perfect attendance this season will continue, which aligns with a pregame statement from coach Gregg Popovich that the second-year forward was "very probable" to suit up Sunday. This likely puts Sochan on track for his standard workload, which has yielded 9.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 8.2 shots in 29.0 minutes over his last five games.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Keldon Johnson - Active Sunday Johnson (wrist) will play Sunday against Cleveland.
Impact Johnson's right wrist contusion will not sideline him Sunday, marking his third consecutive appearance after missing a contest Dec. 31 against Boston due to back spasms. Johnson will likely come off the bench Sunday with Julian Champagnie remaining in the starting lineup.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Doug McDermott - Good to go McDermott (forearm) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact As expected, McDermott has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up Sunday after missing San Antonio's previous contest. The sharpshooter is shooting 44.2 percent on 3.6 three-point attempts per game this season.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Malaki Branham - Suiting up Sunday Branham (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Braham will return from a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 20-year-old, Ohio native will return in a bench role, however, with Tre Jones remaining in the starting lineup for the second consecutive contest. Branham has averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 18.5 minutes across 12 appearances off the bench this season
