Zach Collins - Available for Tuesday Collins (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.comreports.
Impact Victor Wembanyama (ankle) has also been cleared, so Collins will presumably come off the bench. Collins fared well in a spot start Saturday against Dallas, scoring 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt) with five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes.

Victor Wembanyama - Good to go Tuesday Wembanyama (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Utah, ESPN's Andrew Lopez reports.
Impact Wembanyama was held out of Saturday's game against Dallas after tweaking his ankle in warmups, but the Spurs made it very clear that his absence was a precaution. There are no reported restrictions for Wembanyama on Tuesday, although the Spurs will be watching him closely. Presumably, Zach Collins (knee) will come off the bench if he gets the green light to play.

Victor Wembanyama - Active for shootaround Wembanyama (ankle) is participating in morning shootaround in advance of Tuesday's game against Utah, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Impact Wembanyama is trending in the right direction to play Tuesday night, but San Antonio opting to exhibit an abundance of caution with the 19-year-old remains in play. He had been playing through right ankle soreness prior to tweaking the injury by stepping on a ballboy's foot in warm-ups Saturday. Wembanyama wanting to play through the aggravation Saturday was kiboshed by San Antonio, which is worthwhile context despite the rookie's seemingly quick healing.

Zach Collins - Dealing with knee soreness Collins is probable for Tuesday's game against Utah due to left knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Collins should be able to play through the soreness, and he may be in line for increased usage again if Victor Wembanyama (ankle) remains out. Over his last six appearances (two starts), Collins has averaged 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 23.2 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Wembanyama - Questionable for Tuesday Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Wembanyama twisted his ankle after stepping on a ballboy during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's loss to Dallas and was a late scratch. The Spurs will presumably be cautious with the No. 1 overall pick, so if Wembanyama is sidelined again, Zach Collins (knee) would likely draw another start at center.

Malaki Branham - Scores 12 points in loss Branham closed with 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 144-119 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Branham has been playing as a point guard in recent games and has seen his usage rate spike as a result, something that has translated to decent numbers across the board. He has scored in double digits in each of his last eight outings, a span in which he's averaging 12.8 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Sochan - Nears double-double Sochan registered 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 144-119 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Sochan was coming off eight straight games in which he couldn't score more than 11 points, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered one of his best outings of the campaign while ending just one rebound away from recording a double-double. Sochan hasn't been playing well of late and is averaging just 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in December, and those numbers are not good enough to keep him rostered outside of very deep leagues.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Collins - Decent output in loss Collins registered 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 144-119 loss to Dallas.
Impact The Spurs looked overmatched Saturday and Collins was forced to take on a starting role after Victor Wembanyama was a late scratch due to an ankle injury, but he posted a solid stat line and rewarded fantasy managers who trusted in him. Collins is averaging 11.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 blocks per game in 10 December outings.
