Accrues three steals, three blocks White pitched in eight points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the P...

Impact White couldn't get much of anything going from a scoring perspective. Still, he ended up salvaging his performance thanks to his plentiful contributions across every other statistical category and especially due to his defensive numbers. After White and Dejounte Murray didn't play much together through mid-March, they seem set to share the backcourt as starters going forward.

Erupts for 21 points Johnson racked up 21 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.

Impact Johnson was absolutely incredible offensively and could barely miss in this one. If he continues to play at anywhere near this level, Johnson may very well see the biggest boost in involvement for the Spurs, as coach Gregg Popovich has already stated that development is the top priority during the restart.

It’s time for San Antonio Spurs vs. Indiana Pacers scrimmage Can the Spurs win a scrimmage game? Does it matter?

Scores 23 points in 21 minutes Gay registered 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.

Impact Gay was sensational, pacing the team in points despite coming off the bench. With LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Gay may be relied upon to help fill the void from a scoring perspective. However, it remains to be seen how coach Gregg Popovich will balance fighting for a playoff spot and developing the team's younger players.

Scores 17 in final scrimmage DeRozan turned in 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.

Impact DeRozan can likely be expected to carry a sizable load offensively once the official games begin, as LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. With that being said, coach Gregg Popovich has stated that the team will primarily focus on development. As such, DeRozan may be most reliable for the first few games given that his minutes could eventually be reduced considerably if the team falls too far out of the playoff race.

Posts double-double in loss Poeltl posted 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-119 scrimmage loss against the Nets.

Impact Poeltl logged the second-fewest minutes among the starters in this one, but he delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court. The absence of both LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) and Trey Lyles (side) should allow Poeltl to see meaningful minutes at center once play resumes next week. He should make quite an impact if he can repeat this kind of output in the final games of the regular season.
