Keldon Johnson - Questionable vs. Denver Johnson (back) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Johnson is in danger of missing Wednesday's game in Denver due to a back issue. San Antonio will already be without Devin Vassell (ankle), Jeremy Sochan (back) and Charles Bassey (knee), so the team will be shorthanded on the road. If Johnson cannot play Wednesday, the team will likely lean heavily on Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and Malaki Branham to pick up the slack.

Jeremy Sochan - Unlikely to play Wednesday Spurs interim head coach Mitch Johnson said after Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic that he doesn't expect Sochan (back) to join the team for Wednesday's road game in Denver, Jef...
Impact Sochan will likely stay behind in San Antonio to receive further treatment after he was ruled out less than an hour before the opening tip of Tuesday's contest due to low back spasms. Bismack Biyombo replaced Sochan in the starting five and could get the nod on the top unit again Wednesday, though Biyombo could be in store for a reduction in minutes with Charles Bassey (knee) likely to play in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Stephon Castle - Logs team high in boards Tuesday Castle posted 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic.
Impact Castle led the Spurs with a team-high eight rebounds Tuesday, marking just his sixth outing on the season with at least eight boards. The rookie first-round pick also finished with the club's third-highest point total, logging at least 15 points for the 10th time over his last 11 appearances. The 20-year-old should continue to see plenty of opportunity on a non-contending Spurs team that is without its two best players in Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De'Aaron Fox (finger).

Julian Champagnie - Leads second unit in loss Champagnie closed with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic.
Impact The 23-year-old forward led the second unit with 19 points against Orlando, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Harrison Barnes (24 points). Champagnie also racked up a team-high mark in three-pointers Tuesday, sinking at least five triples for the seventh time this season. The third-year pro has received fairly consistent playing time off the bench of late, recording double-digit points in five of his last 10 outings.

Harrison Barnes - Paces San Antonio in loss Barnes closed Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic with 24 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two steals and one rebound over 29 minutes.
Impact Barnes delivered a bounce-back performance following Sunday's blowout loss to Golden State, during which he posted only six points while shooting 2-for-6 from the field. The veteran forward tied the game-high mark in points Tuesday, logging just his second game with at least 20 points since the All-Star break. Barnes was extremely efficient from beyond the arc against Orlando, though entering Tuesday, he had shot only 29.6 percent from downtown in his last five appearances.
