Doug McDermott Injury News & Updates

McDermott ended with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) across eight minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 loss to the Hawks.

McDermott saw action for the first time this season, an indication of how bad things are right now in Sacramento. The veteran has never really been a viable fantasy asset, and at this point, he would need a miracle for that to change.

McDermott intends to sign a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

McDermott is set to return to Sacramento for his second season, and he'll help offer the team a veteran presence off the bench. That said, he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time in the Kings' frontcourt as long as DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray are healthy in 2025-26. Last year, McDermott logged a mere 8.1 minutes per game across 42 regular-season outings but did shoot a career-high 43.6 percent from three-point range during his limited action.

McDermott racked up one rebound in three minutes during Monday's 127-117 victory over the Pistons.

McDermott was back in the rotation, suiting up for just the fourth time in the past 14 games. It's been a disappointing campaign for McDermott, playing a limited role off the bench. Through 40 games played, he has averaged just 3.3 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 7.8 minutes per contest.

McDermott (elbow) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Following a one-game absence Monday against the Celtics, McDermott is cleared to play through an elbow injury Tuesday. However, the veteran sharpshooter is logging just 4.7 minutes per game across four appearances in March, so he's unlikely to play a major role against Oklahoma City.

The Kings list McDermott (elbow) as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

McDermott could be available for the second leg of a back-to-back set after sitting out Monday's 113-95 loss to the Celtics due to a sore right elbow, but he's unlikely to be included in the rotation Tuesday even if he's available.

McDermott (elbow) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

McDermott will sit out of Monday's matchup due to a right elbow injury. His next chance to return will arrive Tuesday against the Thunder.

McDermott (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

McDermott could be held out of the first leg of this back-to-back set. He's a minimal part of the rotation most nights, however, so this news doesn't carry many fantasy implications.

McDermott is not listed on the Kings' injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Thunder.

McDermott will suit up after missing Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia due to an illness. The 33-year-old appeared in seven outings in January, during which he had averaged 3.0 points across 6.9 minutes per contest.

McDermott (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

McDermott was a late addition to Sacramento's injury report with an illness Wednesday, and he won't be available off the bench. The veteran sharpshooter's next shot to take the court for the Kings comes Saturday against the Thunder. McDermott's absence is unlikely to open up a noticeable amount of minutes against Philadelphia.

McDermott (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

McDermott was a late addition to the injury report. The forward has averaged 6.7 minutes across seven January appearances, however, so his status doesn't carry many fantasy implications.

McDermott amassed 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt) over 11 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to the Nuggets.

McDermott led the Kings' second unit in scoring while torching the nets from beyond the arc. The 33-year-old logged his third outing of the season with double-digit points following a DNP via coach's decision in Wednesday's win over Golden State. He'll likely continue struggling to pick up consistent minutes unless injuries arise.

McDermott will come off the bench Thursday night against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

McDermott entered the starting lineup Monday in place of Keegan Murray (ankle), but the Creighton product will resume his usual role Thursday following Murray's return to play. McDermott is averaging 3.0 points over 4.0 minutes in his last eight appearances off the bench.

McDermott amassed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one rebound across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets.

McDermott got the start Monday due to the absence of Keegan Murray (ankle), and the veteran responded with an efficient performance and some much-needed floor spacing. His role in the upcoming games will be determined by Murray's availability, but expect McDermott to experience a slight uptick in minutes and usage rate if Murray remains sidelined.

McDermott will start in Monday's game against the Nuggets, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

With Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined, McDermott will pick up his third start across 20 regular-season appearances. The 32-year-old forward is coming off a season-best performance in last Sunday's win over Utah, during which he posted 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over only eight minutes.

McDermott contributed 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 141-97 victory over Utah.

The Kings ran away with this game early, allowing McDermott to feast in garbage time as he reached double-digit points for the first time this season. McDermott is usually not in the rotation for the Kings, so this can be chalked up as an outlier performance.

McDermott will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Hawks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Alex Len will enter the starting lineup with McDermott retreating to the second unit. The 32-year-old forward has carved out a decent role with the club this year, and in his last five outings he has averaged 4.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 14.8 minutes per game (one start).

McDermott closed with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over Utah.

The Kings continue to experiment with schemes to absorb DeMar DeRozan's (back) production with mixed results, and McDermott didn't solve the equation. Given Trey Lyles' proficiency as a shot-taker, employing a larger lineup might solve the issue if DeRozan's absence is extended, allowing Keegan Murray to move over to make room for a Lyles/Sabonis combo up front. Given Saturday's results, Murray should return to his customary role, with McDermott possibly headed back to the bench.

McDermott is in the Kings' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

McDermott will make his second start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday. His last start took place against the Raptors on Nov. 2, during which he played just 15 minutes and logged four points and one rebound. Over his last four outings, McDermott has averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds across 13.8 minutes.

McDermott isn't starting Monday's game against the Heat, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

McDermott drew a spot start Saturday against Toronto but failed to do much with the opportunity, totaling four points and one rebound in 15 minutes. Keon Ellis gets the chance to start for Kevin Huerter (illness) Monday evening.

McDermott is in the Kings' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

McDermott will enter the starting five for Kevin Huerter, who is sidelined with an illness. McDermott has seen little playing time was a healthy DNP in two of five regular-season games, but Saturday provides an opportunity for the 2014 first-round pick to earn more minutes in the Kings' rotation.

McDermott posted 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt) and five rebounds across 25 minutes in Thursday's 113-91 loss to the Clippers.

McDermott's order in the rotation is unclear as the season begins, but he could be the odd man out if Kevin Huerter's play improves from last season. Huerter will already struggle for playing time behind DeMar DeRozan and Keon Ellis, and Malik Monk should should reclaim his role as Sacramento's sixth man. McDermott has a better chance at gaining traction over Monk in the second unit, but the rotation will crystallize further once the regular season gets underway.

McDermott inked a one-year pact with the Kings on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

McDermott adds another three-point sniper to a Sacramento offense predicated on perimeter handoffs and movement shooting. The 32-year-old was unable to contribute at a relevant level throughout Indiana's playoff run last year, but he has an opportunity to carve out regular-season minutes off the bench if Kevin Huerter (shoulder) -- who is fully cleared but yet to log preseason action -- is eased into gameplay.

McDermott closed with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three assists, a rebound and a block over 13 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

McDermott was traded to the Pacers early in February and in 28 games averaged 3.1 points, 0.7 assists and 0.5 rebounds in 9.5 minutes. The 32-year-old is set to become a free agent ahead of the 2024-25 season and has played for seven teams in his 10-year career.

McDermott supplied zero points (0-1 FG) in three minutes during Friday's 116-103 victory over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

McDermott played three minutes to close the game Friday, at which point the Pacers had the game sealed up. Having played a total of just 19 minutes in the series, it's safe to say that McDermott is not going to play a role in determining the outcome of what has been a fantastic series between two bitter rivals.

McDermott notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in six minutes during Friday's 129-120 loss to the Cavaliers.

McDermott continues to be a non-factor for the Pacers, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the fourth time in the past six games. At this point in his career, McDermott is nothing more than a depth piece on any squad, who can occasionally be streamed in for his perimeter scoring.

McDermott (calf) recorded nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 16 minutes Wednesday in the Pacers' 122-103 win over the Pistons.

McDermott had missed the Pacers' past 10 games with a right calf strain but returned to action Wednesday and gave Indiana some quality minutes off the bench. Despite the solid showing against Detroit, McDermott is unlikely to see his role grow unless the Pacers are without starting forwards Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam for a given game.

McDermott (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

McDermott will snap a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. He's been a sporadic producer for Indiana this season. Over his last 18 healthy appearances, McDermott has averaged 4.7 points and 1.0 assists in 13.3 minutes per game.

McDermott (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

McDermott's absence streak is in danger of being extended to 11 games Wednesday due to a right calf strain. However, the veteran forward being initially listed as questionable instead of out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland.

McDermott will miss his 10th consecutive game due to a right calf strain. Acquired by Indiana to help offset the void created by trading Buddy Hield to the 76ers, McDermott's inability to get healthy has removed a element of dynamic shooting from the Pacers offense -- even if he only operates in a part-time role.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

McDermott will miss a ninth straight game due to a right calf strain. He returned to practice Friday, and Coach Rick Carlisle said the sharpshooter is "getting close" to a return, so McDermott could be back in action Monday versus the Cavaliers.

Coach Rick Carlisle said McDermott participated in Friday's practice and is "getting close" to a return, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

McDermott has missed Indiana's last eight contests due to a right calf strain. However, the veteran forward's return to practice is a good sign of his availability against the Nets on Saturday.

McDermott (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Bulls.

This will be the eighth game in a row on the shelf for McDermott, and he remains without a timetable for a return.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

McDermott will miss his seventh straight contest while recovering from a right calf strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Bulls.

McDermott (calf) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Magic.

McDermott's absence streak will extend to six games Sunday due to a right calf strain. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

McDermott will miss a fifth straight game due to a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Orlando, but he can be considered doubtful, barring a return to practice.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

McDermott is slated to miss a fourth straight game due to a right calf strain. Coach Rick Carlisle said the sharpshooter would miss at least a few contests last week, so McDermott can be considered doubtful, at best, until he returns to practice.

Coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that McDermott (calf) will remain sidelined for a few more games, Tony East of SI.com reports.

McDermott has already been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Pelicans due to a right calf injury and is expected to remain sidelined for a few more contests. Ben Sheppard will likely continue to receive increased playing time in McDermott's absence as a forward option off Indiana's bench.

McDermott (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

McDermott will miss at least one game after suffering a calf injury during the second quarter of Monday's loss to Toronto. Ben Sheppard is a candidate for increased playing time in McDermott's absence, though Aaron Nesmith's potential return could mean fewer minutes for the reserves overall.

McDermott will not return to Monday's contest against Toronto due to right calf soreness.

McDermott was forced to exit in the second quarter of Monday's game, and his next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against New Orleans. Ben Sheppard will step into an enlarged role as a primary off-ball shooter for the Pacers.

McDermott (trade pending) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against New York.

McDermott was acquired from the Spurs at the trade dealing with the Pacers looking to add more floor spacing. The veteran sharpshooter is likely to have a limited role at best when the Pacers are at full strength.

McDermott was traded from the Spurs to the Pacers on Thursday for a second-round pick and Marcus Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This is a fairly low-stakes addition for Indiana, who were looking to add a sharpshooter to help fuel a playoff run. McDermott could see a marginally increased role, but it's still unlikely he'll be fantasy relevant.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Hawks.

McDermott will suit up Monday after missing Saturday's loss to Chicago due to a right ankle sprain. He posted exactly 14 points and two rebounds in each of his last two appearances and figures to handle a modest bench role versus Atlanta.

McDermott (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

The Spurs will likely re-evaluate McDermott during Monday's morning shootaround before determining if he'll be forced to miss a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. The veteran forward hasn't been a major part of San Antonio's rotation of late, having played 20 minutes or fewer in 14 of his last 15 appearances.

McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Chicago.

McDermott sprained his right ankle in Friday's 135-99 win over the Hornets, and the second half of a back-to-back comes too soon for him to return. The Spurs will miss his outside shooting, though. McDermott's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday as the Spurs continue their road trip through the Eastern Conference.

McDermott (ankle) has drawn a doubtful designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Bulls, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott indicated following Friday's win that his status for the second night of a back-to-back set was up in the air, so this is no surprise. Barring a quick recovery, the veteran forward does not appear to be trending in the right direction. If he indeed gets ruled out, Cedi Osman could be in for a slightly increased workload.

McDermott (ankle) indicated his status is "iffy" for Saturday's matchup with the Bulls, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott sprained his right ankle in Friday's game against the Hornets. Prior to exiting, he recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds across 12 minutes. His status Saturday will depend on how his ankle is feeling during pregame warmups. Cedi Osman would presumably be the prime beneficiary if McDermott cannot give it a go.

McDermott will not return to Friday's game against the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain, ESPN's Andrew Lopez reports. He finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds in 12 minutes.

The Spurs put this game away early, so the lopsided score could have factored into the decision as well. San Antonio will play again Saturday versus the Bulls, and McDermott should be considered questionable for that one. If he can't suit up, Cedi Osman could be more involved.

McDermott (forearm) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

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.

McDermott (forearm) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers.

McDermott is expected to return to action Sunday after missing the Spurs' previous contest with a right forearm contusion. McDermott provides valuable spacing off the bench, shooting 44.2 percent on 3.6 three-point attempts per contest.

McDermott has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to a right forearm contusion, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott wasn't on the Spurs' initial injury report, but he'll sit for the first time since the start of December. He had played double-digit minutes in each of his last five appearances, averaging 5.8 points in 16.4 minutes per game. Julian Champagnie and Blake Wesley could see a few additional minutes Wednesday.

McDermott (illness) isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott missed back-to-back games last week due to an illness but will return to action Wednesday. The Spurs should be close to full strength, so McDermott will presumably handle his usual role as a floor spacer off the bench.

McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

McDermott missed Thursday's game against Atlanta due to his illness, and he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set Friday. However, he'll have a few additional days to recover before Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman are candidates for larger roles Friday.

McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott was given a questionable designation a few hours before Thursday's tipoff, and he'll officially be unavailable for the first time this season. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman could see increased work against the Hawks.

McDermott is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus Atlanta due to an illness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott is expected to miss his first game of the season Thursday after being a late addition to San Antonio's injury report. Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman are candidates to receive extended minutes in his likely absence.

McDermott notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Clippers.

McDermott has scored in single digits in seven straight games and in 12 of the Spurs' first 15 matchups. The sharpshooter is capable of exploding at any point, but he's just not seeing enough usage to be a reliable fantasy option this season.

McDermott registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 123-87 loss to the Thunder.

McDermott plodded his way to five points in the loss, another in a long line of underwhelming performances. Averaging just 7.6 points per game this season, McDermott sits well outside the top 250 in standard fantasy formats. Given he doesn't fit the current timeline in San Antonio, there is a decent chance he will be traded away at some point. While a move would at least give him a chance to compete, it is unlikely to change the fact that he is a non-factor outside of extremely deep leagues.

McDermott closed Monday's 152-111 loss to the Pacers with 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and four assists over 20 minutes.

McDermott continues to fill a rotational sniper role for the Spurs, knocking down a season-high four triples. He led San Antonio in scoring Monday, but it came in the context of emptying the bench amid a blowout defeat; 14 Spurs logged at least eight minutes.

McDermott amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 victory over the Suns.

McDermott's floor spacing is a luxury for the Spurs, and he's been hot to start the season with a 54.5 percent clip from beyond the arc. He hasn't played enough to impact most fantasy leagues, however, as he's averaging 14.3 minutes per contest.

McDermott finished Monday's preseason game against the Rockets with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 20 minutes.

McDermott was held out of San Antonio's previous exhibition strictly for rest, but he was given the green light for Monday's action. He was unable to get things going on the offensive end, scoring his only basket from beyond the arc, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. McDermott will have two more chances in the preseason to prove he belongs in the team's rotation.

McDermott is out for Friday's preseason game against the Heat due to a coach's decision, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott doesn't appear to have suffered any injury but will be held out of Friday's preseason contest. His next chance to suit up is Monday's preseason matchup with Houston.

McDermott logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3PT) and one turnover in 14 minutes in Monday's 122-121 preseason loss to the Thunder.

It was a solid showing for the veteran sharpshooter. There is increased competition at forward this season with Cedi Osman around, but McDermott will like his chances of being in the rotation because of the floor spacing he provides.

McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott will miss a third straight game to end the 2022-23 campaign. Across 64 appearances, the veteran sharpshooter averaged 10.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.5 minutes per game.

McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott will be unavailable for a second consecutive game after leaving Tuesday's loss to the Suns with an ankle injury. His final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against Dallas.

McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott left Tuesday's loss to the Suns with an ankle injury and will be sidelined for at least one additional game. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Minnesota.

McDermott is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Suns due to an ankle injury, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

McDermott tallied two points and two rebounds in six minutes before exiting Tuesday's game early. His status for Thursday's matchup with Portland is now in question.

McDermott (elbow) will be available to play Sunday versus Sacramento.

McDermott is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he could get some extended run in this one with Keldon Johnson (foot) unavailable. However, McDermott isn't much more than a low-end streamer in deep leagues for some points and triples.

McDermott (elbow) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Kings.

McDermott was technically available Friday but did not see the floor. Fantasy managers should be cautious about deploying the sharpshooter Sunday, even if he's cleared.

McDermott (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors according toTom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News, although he may not see the floor.

Coach Gregg Popovich said he wasn't sure if he'd use the sharpshooter and hinted that he would be cautious. Fantasy managers in need of a three-point streamer should probably look elsewhere.

McDermott (elbow) is now listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.

McDermott being downgraded from probable to questionable with right elbow soreness is a bad sign of his availability Friday. Keita Bates-Diop will likely see an uptick in minutes if McDermott doesn't suit up.

McDermott is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors with right lateral elbow soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott has been one of many Spurs players who have been missing numerous contests throughout March, but he appears likely to suit up for Friday's tilt. In his last seven games, McDermott has averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 22.6 minutes.

McDermott (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.

McDermott will suit up for just the second time over the Spurs' past five games. San Antonio has a lengthy injury report, so the sharpshooter should play around 20 minutes off the bench versus Washington.

McDermott (hip) is considered probable for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott got the night off Wednesday to rest a sore hip, marking his third absence in the last four tilts. He's slated to rejoin the mix Friday and should see 20-plus minutes with numerous other players on the injury report.

McDermott is out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks due to right hip injury management, Ty Jager of Fansided's Air Alamo reports.

McDermott is likely just sitting out Wednesday as it is the second leg of a back-to-back. The veteran forward should be able to suit up in Friday's matchup with Washington.

McDermott (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Ty Jager of Fansided's Air Alamo reports.

As expected, McDermott has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first half a back-to-back set after missing back-to-back games due to a hip injury. While the sharpshooter is cleared to play Tuesday, it's possible San Antonio opts to rest him for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

McDermott (hip) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans.

McDermott is expected to suit up Tuesday after missing back-to-back games due to a hip injury. Before his absence, the sharpshooter had played at least 20 minutes in four straight games and averaged 13.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists during that stretch.

McDermott (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Hawks, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott will miss a second straight game due to a hip injury. In his absence, Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili could be in store for more minutes.

McDermott (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott sat out Friday's loss to the Grizzlies but could return Sunday. If he doesn't, more minutes could be in store for Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili.

McDermott (hip) will not play Friday against the Grizzlies.

No surprise here, as McDemott was previously considered doubtful. The Spurs are likely to sit their regulars quite a bit for the remainder of the season. Keita Bates-Diop (Achilles) has been cleared to play and could pick up some run with McDermott out.

McDermott is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis due to a right hip contusion.

McDermott was a late addition to Friday's injury report, and he's unlikely to suit up against the Grizzlies. He's played at least 20 minutes in each of his last four appearances, but Devin Vassell and Keita Bates-Diop (Achilles) could see increased run Friday.

McDermott had 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 win over the Magic.

McDermott sank at least five triples for just the fourth time this season en route to his third consecutive game in double figures. During that stretch, the veteran sharpshooter is averaging 15.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 26 minutes with 58/62/67 shooting splits.

McDermott racked up 20 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 128-120 win over the Nuggets.

San Antonio's bench outscored Denver's bench 58-25 with McDermott leading the charge after two straight games on the shelf with a thumb injury. The Spurs are finally getting healthy, so it would be wishful thinking to expect this type of production from McDermott going forward.

McDermott (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott is back following two missed games resulting from a sprained right thumb. The Spurs are as healthy as they've been in a while, though McDermott should still have a role in the rotation, as he has all season. He's shooting 40.2 percent from three since the New Year.

McDermott (thumb) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

After two consecutive absences due to a right thumb sprain, the veteran should be back on the floor Friday. Since Feb. 1, he's averaged 8.3 points, 1.7 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 20.4 minutes.

McDermott (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

This will mark the second straight game on the sidelines for McDermott, and with Jeremy Sochan (knee) joining him on the inactive list, Keldon Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop should get all the run they can handle. McDermott's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nuggets.

McDermott (thumb) is out for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott won't play Saturday due to a right thumb sprain he suffered against the Pacers. Keita Bates-Diop will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. McDermott's next chance to suit up is Sunday's rematch with Houston.

McDermott has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Pacers with a sprained right thumb, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott will finish Thursday's contest scoreless (0-3 FG) with one assist in just seven minutes of action. Keita-Bates Diop and Devin Vassell figure to see more minutes for the rest of the tilt. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Rockets in the opening leg of a back-to-back set.

McDermott supplied 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt) and three rebounds over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 win over Utah.

McDermott turned back the clock in the win, dropping 19 points including five triples. Before managers go tripping over themselves to pick him up, it should be noted that this was his highest scoring game since late October. His minutes shift from one game to the next, meaning his ROS outlook is far from certain. At best, he should be viewed as a potential streaming option for anyone desperate for points and threes.

McDermott (Achilles) finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and three rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets.

McDermott had a strong in his return from a two-game absence, offering a lift on the second unit with his fourth-best scoring output of the season. The 31-year-old forward likely isn't viewed as a high-priority option for the rebuilding Spurs, so he could see his minutes dip following the All-Star break, when San Antonio will return the likes of Devin Vassell (knee), Tre Jones (foot) and Romeo Langford (adductor) to the rotation at some point.

McDermott is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with right Achilles soreness. The veteran forward is averaging 7.6 points, 2.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.6 minutes across his previous five appearances.

McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

McDermott is questionable to miss his third straight game due to right Achilles soreness. Dominic Barlow and Keita Bates-Diop have seen extended minutes in his absence. If McDermott is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Feb. 23 against Dallas.

McDermott (Achilles) is out for Monday's contest against the Cavaliers, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

The veteran forward will officially miss his second straight game as he tends to an Achilles injury. McDermott's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Hornets.

McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Cleveland, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott suffered the Achilles injury during Friday's loss to the Pistons and was sidelined for the Spurs' subsequent contest Saturday. He's one of a handful of players on San Antonio's injury report, so it's currently unclear what Greg Popovich's rotation will look like versus the Cavaliers.

McDermott (Achilles) will not play in Saturday's game in Atlanta, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

McDermott injured his Achilles in Friday's 138-131 loss to the Pistons. He had tallied 19 minutes before exiting the game. The severity of his injury is currently unknown, but his next chance to suit up will come Monday in Cleveland.

McDermott tweaked his right Achilles and will not return Friday against the Pistons according to Paul Garcia of Project Spurs.

The veteran sharpshooter played 19 minutes before leaving the contest for good, finishing with seven points, two assists, one rebound and one three-pointer. If McDermott ends up missing additional time, we could see more of Keita Bates-Diop and Stanley Johnson.

McDermott supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Raptors.

The veteran forward continues to supply an outside shooting threat for the Spurs, although he could be filling that role for a contender after Thursday's trade deadline. McDermott has drained multiple threes in six of the last nine games while shooting 41.5 percent from beyond the arc, but he doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective.

McDermott finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes in Monday's 147-127 loss to the Trail Blazers.

McDermott came off the bench to make his third appearance for the Spurs following a one-game absence due to a back issue. He turned in by far his best fantasy line of the three games Monday, but it took a flawless shooting night from downtown to get there. Even still, McDermott remained under 20 minutes and barely contributed elsewhere around the box score, which has been a familiar refrain throughout his career. McDermott isn't a player to monitor outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues, or on nights with a low volume of games where managers are looking to stream a player for three-pointers.

McDermott (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.

McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous game with upper back tightness. The veteran forward should be expected to play around 20 minutes.

McDermott (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott missed Sunday's contest due to back soreness and is at risk of missing a second straight game. In his absence, Josh Richardson logged 21 points and 30 minutes and would be in line for another expanded role if McDermott sits.

McDermott (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott had scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances, and he averaged 12.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game during that time. Josh Richardson, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop are candidates to see increased run Sunday, while McDermott's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against Brooklyn.

McDermott is questionable for Sunday's game against Sacramento due to upper back tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott seems to have tweaked his back in Friday's game against Golden State where he tallied 14 points in 22 minutes. If he were to sit, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop would likely earn more minutes.

McDermott produced 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 144-113 loss to the Warriors.

McDermott was efficient from the field and posted another game in double-digit scoring figures -- his fourth one in the current month. The veteran is averaging 12.5 points per game during his last six outings while seeing at least 20 minutes off the bench each time out. He can be a decent streaming option in deep formats, but his value will always be matchup-based.

McDermott supplied 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to New York.

McDermott posted his best scoring performance since Dec. 19 against Houston, and he did so by shooting the ball with efficiency. He knocked down 71.4 percent of his attempts from the field and two of three from downtown. He also notched his first block since Dec. 17 and his first steal since Nov. 26.

McDermott notched eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and four assists across 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 victory over the Knicks.

McDermott returned after missing the previous game due to a knee injury but managed just eight points. Despite a relatively consistent role off the bench for the Spurs, McDermott has been unable to deliver anything even remotely close to fantasy value. At best, he should be looked at as a desperation stream option when in need of points and triples.

McDermott (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Knicks.

McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Tuesday's game with right knee soreness. The veteran forward is averaging 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

McDermott (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Knicks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott is questionable to miss his second straight game due to right knee soreness. If he's unable to suit up Thursday, his next chance to play is Saturday's matchup with Dallas.

McDermott (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott will miss his first matchup since Dec. 4 with right knee soreness. In his place, Josh Richardson is a candidate to see increased run versus the Thunder on Tuesday.

McDermott is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott scored 14 points in 18 minutes during Monday's win over Utah, but the veteran sharpshooter may be sidelined for the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set. Keldon Johnson (back) is also questionable, so San Antonio's frontcourt may be shorthanded against Oklahoma City.

McDermott contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 124-105 win over the Rockets.

McDermott made the most of some lackluster defense, scoring 16 points off the bench, the most he has tallied in almost four weeks. While he has had a couple of moments of relevance this season, the Spurs seem more interested in giving minutes to their young pieces. Barring a shift in mindset, McDermott can be safely left on the wire in all competitive leagues.

McDermott (ankle) scored 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added three rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes in Thursday's 118-109 loss to the Rockets.

McDermott made his first appearance of December after missing both of the Spurs' previous two games with a sore right ankle. Even with starting wing Devin Vassell (knee) sitting out, McDermott wasn't able to take on big minutes, making it difficult to envision his role expanding as the season rolls along. McDermott is best viewed as a streamer for three-pointers in deeper leagues.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Thursday's affair with the Rockets, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott was listed as probable due to the injury and, as expected, will take the floor Thursday after missing San Antonio's previous two games. In 20 appearances, McDermott has averaged 10.3 points and 2.0 3PM across 20.7 minutes per game but could be in line for a larger workload Thursday given the Spurs' lengthy injury report.

McDermott (ankle) is expected to play Thursday against the Rockets, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury but is on track to suit up Thursday. The Spurs haven't released their official injury report yet, so fantasy managers should wait for confirmation before locking the sharpshooter into lineups.

McDermott (ankle) has been downgraded to out in advance of Sunday's game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

A sore right ankle will keep McDermott in street clothes for the second game in a row. The Spurs will also be without Josh Richardson (ankle), with their absences likely leaving spots open in the rotation for Malaki Branham and Romeo Langford behind starting wings Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson.

McDermott (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott missed the Spurs' latest contest due to right ankle soreness and will likely miss Sunday's game as well. With the Spurs rather limited at the wing position, Keita Bates-Diop and Romeo Langford are slated to see more action if McDermott remains out.

McDermott (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Pelicans.

McDermott has been downgraded from unlikely to out for Friday's game. With Jeremy Sochan (quadriceps) also out, Keita Bates-Diop and Isaiah Roby should be in store for extended minutes. McDermott's next opportunity to play is Sunday's game against Phoenix.

McDermott (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

McDermott exited Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right ankle injury and has been diagnosed with a sprain. He'll likely be forced to miss at least one game, which could lead to increased playing time for Keita Bates-Diop and Isaiah Roby.

McDermott won't return to Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder due to right ankle soreness, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

The forward must have re-aggravated his ankle injury sometime during Wednesday's matchup, as McDermott missed the team's loss to the Lakers this past Friday with the same issue. McDermott tallied five points, four assists and one rebound in 16 minutes off the bench before exiting.

McDermott contributed 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 143-138 loss to the Lakers.

McDermott looked sharp from beyond the arc after missing his team's last matchup Friday due to an ankle injury. He's knocked down three triples in three of his last four matchups, shooting an impressive 47.4 percent from downtown over that stretch. The Creighton product has carved out a nice role for himself off the bench, averaging 20.9 minutes and 10.5 points over 19 games this season.

McDermott (ankle) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

McDermott returns following a one-game absence. His scoring has been inconsistent this season, but he's shooting a quality 41.2 percent from three on 4.7 attempts per game.

McDermott (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Lakers, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

The Spurs could be holding out McDermott for Friday's game in order to play him on the second leg of a back-to-back. Romeo Langford and Keita Bates-Diop should be in line for extended minutes Friday, with the potential for McDermott to return for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

McDermott is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained left ankle.

McDermott is coming off a 21-point performance in just 23 minutes, but he may miss his second game of the year Friday. If that's the case, more minutes could be in store for Romeo Langford and Keita Bates-Diop.

McDermott totaled 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 129-110 loss to New Orleans.

McDermott scored at least 20 points for just the second time this season, going 9-of-12 from the floor in what was an efficient performance. While he does have a relatively consistent role at the moment, his production has been all over the place. Currently sitting just inside the top 300, managers in 12-team leagues can certainly do better than McDermott on most nights.

McDermott (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

McDermott has struggled from deep lately, shooting just 29.2 percent from three over the past six games. He's averaging only 7.0 points in 20.5 minutes during this stretch.

McDermott (calf) is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott missed his first contest of the season Thursday due to left calf tightness, but it appears he'll likely return to action Saturday after just a one-game absence. Across 15 appearances, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 9.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20.9 minutes per game.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said that McDermott (calf) won't play Thursday against the Kings, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott will miss his first game of the 2022-23 season due to left calf tightness. As a result, Josh Richardson, Keita Bates-Diop and Isaiah Roby could see increased run in McDermott's absence.

McDermott is questionable for Thursday's game at Sacramento due to left calf tightness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Keldon Johnson (ankle) is also questionable, so the Spurs may be shorthanded on the wing. If that's the case, more minutes may be in store for Josh Richardson, Keita Bates-Diop and Isaiah Roby.

McDermott totaled six points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

McDermott came into the contest questionable due to an ankle injury but was still able to suit up. However, the sharpshooter struggled from the field for a second straight game and played just 17 minutes, his fewest since Nov. 7. Since scoring 23 points (7-14 3Pt) against the Timberwolves on Oct. 30, McDermott is shooting just 32.2 percent from three over his last eight appearances.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

McDermott was questionable for Wednesday's matchup, but he'll officially be able to suit up after participating in the team's shootaround Wednesday. Over his last five games, he's averaged 10.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game.

McDermott (ankle) participated in Wednesday's shootaround, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to a sprained left ankle, but it's encouraging that he was able to take part in the Spurs' shootaround. The team will likely wait to see how he feels after the shootaround before determining his status for the game.

McDermott is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.

Although it's not certain, McDermott likely picked up the injury during Monday's loss to Denver. In the game, the forward posted nine points, one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes. If McDermott is unable to go, Josh Richardson and Malaki Branham are candidates to see increased run against the Grizzlies.

McDermott finished Sunday's 107-98 win over the Timberwolves with 23 points (8-16 FG, 7-14 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes.

McDermott came from nowhere to score a season-high 23 points, including seven triples. He has played at least 24 minutes in four of the past five games, hitting a combined 16 triples in that period. While his role does seem somewhat assured, he should only be viewed as a potential streaming candidate for anyone desperate for perimeter contributions.

McDermott racked up 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Timberwolves.

McDermott provided a spark off the bench for the Spurs, drilling four triples to finish with a season-high in points. This is also the second time in five games that he's logged 24 minutes, though his overall production has been inconsistent at best to kick off the new campaign.

McDermott (wrist) suited up and posted 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), a rebound and an assist over 20 minutes off the bench Thursday versus the Thunder.

McDermott has appeared off the bench every game this preseason, while Jeremy Sochan has started each of the last three. This change may suggest the rookie has supplanted him as a starter heading into 2022-23, but McDermott should still supply plenty of scoring off the bench. On a positive note, McDermott's wrist injury that surfaced during Tuesday's game against Utah appears to be a non-issue heading into the regular-season opener.

McDermott's X-rays on his right wrist returned negative Tuesday, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports

After exiting Tuesday's game with a right wrist injury, McDermott appears to have avoided any serious injury. While McDermott was initially viewed as the team's starting small forward, he may now have serious competition after his injury and Jeremy Sochan's insertion into the starting lineup Tuesday. It is unclear whether the veteran forward will be ready to go for Thursday's preseason game versus the Thunder or the regular season opener on Oct. 19.

McDermott (wrist) exited Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Jazz with a right wrist injury and will not return, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott's injury does not appear to be too serious, as he wanted to return to the game. However, the Spurs decided he would remain out as a precaution and get X-rays in Salt Lake City. McDermott is still in line to be the team's starting small forward for the regular season.

McDermott tallied 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 19 minutes in a 111-98 loss Sunday against New Orleans.

McDermott came off the bench and scored 11 points in six minutes in the first quarter, making all three of his three-point tries. He was just 1-for-4 from the field over his last 13 minutes. The 30-year-old is averaging 11.7 points and is shooting 44.4 percent from the field over his first three preseason games.

McDermott finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3 Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with two assists and a rebound over 19 minutes in the Spurs' loss to Orlando on Thursday.

McDermott was hot in the second quarter, going 3-of-4 from the field, including a 27-foot three-pointer off an assist from Josh Richardson. The Spurs forward added another four points in the third quarter but also committed three turnovers in just over a three-minute span, two of which came on offensive fouls. He did not play in the fourth quarter as the Spurs continue to provide extra rest to their starters.

McDermott (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's play-in game against New Orleans.

The Spurs had previously ruled McDermott out through the end of the regular season, but he appears to still be recovering from the sprained right ankle that's sidelined him since March 14. At this juncture, it's unclear how close he may be to returning to game action.

McDermott's ankle sprain has been diagnosed Grade 3, and he's expected to sit out the rest of the regular season, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Assuming the timeline holds, McDermott will conclude his debut season with the Spurs averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.0 minutes. He, as usual, shot well from distance, drilling a career-high 2.1 threes per game at 42.2 percent. In his absence, coach Gregg Popovich figures to hand more minutes to Josh Richardson, Lonnie Walker, Keita Bates-Diop (back) and Romeo Langford (hamstring). The Spurs are only two games back from the 10-seeded Pelicans, so it's still possible they make the play-in games and McDermott comes back.

McDermott is expected to miss an extended period of time while recovering from a right ankle sprain, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott has already been ruled out for Monday's clash with Minnesota, and coach Gregg Popovich indicated in pregame that the forward could miss at least few games while on the mend. "He did it pretty good," said Popovich. "I don't know. But he will be out for a while." A timeline on McDermott's return should emerge as he nears a return to play. In the meantime, this injury should open up opportunities for Josh Richardson and Lonnie Walker.

McDermott (ankle) will not play Monday against the Timberwolves.

McDermott exited Saturday's loss to the Pacers early in the first quarter after rolling his ankle, so it's no surprise that he'll miss at least one game as the Spurs begin a four-game week. Consider McDermott day-to-day looking ahead to Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder.

McDermott has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott was fouled on a three-point attempt in the first quarter and remained in the contest to make three foul shots, but he has since been removed and ruled out from returning. He finishes the contest with five points on 1-for-2 shooting from the field along with the three free-throws.

McDermott (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

McDermott returns following a one-game absence. He figures to see increased usage, as many of the Spurs' regulars have been ruled out. That said, he's struggled recently, averaging just 8.0 points on 38.1 percent shooting over his past six appearances.

McDermott (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott will miss his first game since Feb. 3. With Keita Bates-Diop (back), Joshua Primo (illness) and Romeo Langford (hamstring) also notably out, more minutes could be in store for Josh Richardson, Lonnie Walker, Tre Jones and Zach Collins.

McDermott is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to congestion.

McDermott has struggled lately, averaging just 8.0 points on 30.8 percent shooting from deep over the past six games. If he sits out, more minutes could be available for Josh Richardson, Lonnie Walker and Devin Vassell.

McDermott (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

McDermott will be able to play through his knee soreness once again Thursday. Across his last seven appearances, he's averaged 13.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in 24.9 minutes per game.

McDermott is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott was dealing with knee soreness before Monday's loss to the Grizzlies, and though he ended up playing, the issue is still around. If he's out, more minutes could be in store for Josh Richardson, Lonnie Walker and Keita Bates-Diop.

McDermott (knee) is available for Monday's game at Memphis, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott was questionable with a knee injury and has been cleared to take the court versus the Grizzlies. The 30-year-old is coming off a poor performance, as he posted just four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assist in 20 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Heat.

McDermott is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right knee soreness.

McDermott was limited to just four points in 20 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Heat, and he apparently sustained an ankle injury during the matchup. If he's unavailable Monday, Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford (groin) should see additional playing time.

McDermott contributed four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 20 minutes during Saturday's 133-129 loss to the Heat.

McDermott failed to make the most of what could have been a nice night, landing just four points. With three primary pieces on the shelf, McDermott had a solid opportunity to step things up on the offensive end. While he has been able to carve out a consistent role for himself, he simply offers nothing outside of the occasional scoring outburst, leaving him as just a streaming option in moderately shallow formats.

McDermott recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Chicago.

McDermott was efficient from the field en route to his seventh double-digit scoring performance over his last eight appearances. During that stretch, the sharpshooter has averaged 14.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 24.5 minutes per game. Romeo Langford and Josh Richardson, who were both acquired via trade ahead of the deadline, were active for Monday's contest, but they didn't see the court. It's possible when they get acclimated to San Antonio that they cut into McDermott's playing time after the All-Star break.

McDermott totaled 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two rebounds over 24 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 win over the Pelicans.

Injuries slowed McDermott for much of January, but he's been a solid contributor on the wing for the last few weeks. Over his last nine games, McDermott is providing 13.0 points and 2.9 threes on 50.6 percent shooting (52.0% 3Pt). He doesn't add much value outside of those two categories, however.

McDermott (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Rockets.

McDermott sprained his right ankle during Tuesday's narrow loss to the Warriors and was subsequently sidelined for Thursday's matchup with Miami. However, he's no longer listed on the injury report and is expected to play Friday against Houston. He's started every contest he has appeared in this season and is averaging 11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.5 minutes per game.

McDermott (ankle) is out for Thursday's action against the Heat.

McDermott and Keita Bates-Diop (conditioning) are both out on the wing. Coach Gregg Popovich may have to give more minutes to Devin Vassell, Lonnie Walker and Juancho Hernangomez.

McDermott is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Miami due to a sprained right ankle, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

McDermott picked up the injury during Tuesday's narrow loss to the Warriors in which he played just 19 minutes -- his fewest in any game since Dec. 26. The Spurs will wait to see how the ankle responds over the next 24 hours before making a call on his status.

McDermott put up a team-high 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes Sunday in the Spurs' 115-110 loss to the Suns.

With regular backcourt starters Dejounte Murray (ankle) and Derrick White (rest) sitting out, the Spurs turned to McDermott, Lonnie Walker (22 points) and Keldon Johnson (16 points) as their primary sources of offense. Though both McDermott and Walker were able to get their points efficiently, both will see notable downturns in touches Tuesday against the Warriors, when White and Murray are likely to rejoin the lineup.

McDermott ended Wednesday's 118-110 loss to the Grizzlies with six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

Since his return to action, McDermott has failed to make a consistent impact despite a few standout scoring performances. Unsurprisingly, coach Gregg Popovich continues to confound by sticking with McDermott instead of promoting Devin Vassell, who is vastly outperforming McDermott at the position.

McDermott ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-96 victory over the Thunder.

This was the first time since Oct. 23 in which McDermott has reached the 20-point mark, as the Creighton product played well and posted double figures offensively for a second straight matchup. McDermott also got back on track by drilling six threes which was one short of tying a season best.

McDermott posted four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist over 23 minutes during Saturday's 101-94 win over the Clippers.

McDermott was back in the starting lineup for the second straight game after missing seven straight contests, but he wasn't able to do much with his 23 minutes of action. The sharpshooter had a nice run last month -- 12.8 PPG, 2.2 3PM/G from Dec. 2 to Dec. 27 -- but when he's not knocking down threes at a high-volume clip, he offers very little fantasy value.

McDermott (COVID-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott has missed the past seven games due to the health and safety protocols, but he's set to retake the court Friday. The 29-year-old may face some workload limitations given it's been two weeks since he's seen game action.

McDermott remains in COVID-19 protocols as of Tuesday, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

Technically, there's still a chance McDermott could test out before Wednesday's game against Houston, but he'll almost certainly sit out for a seventh straight game. Given the long layoff, McDermott could end up missing an extra contest or two once he's cleared as he works on building back his conditioning.

McDermott (COVID-19 protocols) remains out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

McDermott remains in COVID-19 protocols, but he's been out for more than a week, so chances are he'll be cleared within the next day or two. For fantasy managers, the hope is that McDermott can make his return to action Wednesday against Houston.

McDermott has entered the league's health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

It's not yet clear whether McDermott has tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll be forced to isolate from the team. Lonnie Walker also landed in the league's health and safety protocols Saturday, so Devin Vassell, Keita Bates-Diop and Thaddeus Young should see increased run for the Spurs.

McDermott (mouth) will be available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

McDermott had an injury designation coming into Sunday despite starting the last two games. He's been dealing with a tooth infection but should remain a mainstay in the starting lineup against the Pistons.

McDermott (mouth) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons, independent NBA journalist Matthew Tynan reports.

The sharpshooter is recovering from a dental procedure. He's scored in double digits in each of the past five games with averages of 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.4 minutes.

McDermott (mouth) has been cleared to play Monday against the Clippers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

McDermott will return to action after missing Sunday's matchup due to a tooth infection. He figures to be back in the starting lineup, where he's averaged 10.2 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five games.

McDermott (tooth) is probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

McDermott missed Sunday's game against the Kings due to a tooth infection, but he appears likely to return Monday. The 29-year-old has averaged 11.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game across his last nine appearances.

McDermott is suffering from a tooth infection and won't be available Sunday against Sacramento, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

This will likely just be a one-game absence for McDermott, who was started in all 21 games he's been active for this season. Lonnie Walker will likely step into the first five in his place. McDermott and the Spurs will have a quick turnaround with the team playing the Clippers Monday night.

McDermott provided 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Suns.

The Spurs got two of their rotation wings back in action from injury Thursday in McDermott and Devin Vassell, but only McDermott was able to finish the contest after Vassell sat out the entire second half with a tight thigh. McDermott, who missed the previous four games with knee inflammation, immediately reclaimed his spot in the starting five, sending Keita Bates-Diop back to the bench. If Vassell misses additional time, McDermott could see a slight boost in minutes, but fantasy managers in 12- or 14-team leagues should still be viewing the 29-year-old mostly as a streamer for three-pointers, given his limited contributions in other categories.

McDermott is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.

McDermott missed the last four games with right knee inflammation and will return to the lineup Thursday night. The 29-year-old has started in all 12 games he's been active for, averaging 10.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.6 minutes per game.

McDermott finished with just two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to Dallas.

McDermott returned to the starting lineup after missing three straight games with a knee concern. Unfortunately, that is where the good news ends. After a nice start to the season, this is what we were afraid of. He has never been a standard league fantasy asset and there was little reason to think that was going to change despite the strong opening. He should really be viewed as a points streamer, at best.

McDermott will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

After missing a string of three games with swelling in his knee, McDermott will slot back into the lineup at one forward spot alongside Keldon Johnson, Derrick White, Dejounte Murray and Drew Eubanks, who gets the nod in place of Jakob Poeltl (COVID-19 protocols). In his three healthy games this season, McDermott averaged 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 made three-pointers.

McDermott won't return to Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to right knee soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

McDermott had four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and one rebound in 17 minutes before leaving the contest with the injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and he should be considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Mavericks.

McDermott mustered 25 points (9-13 FG, 7-11 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bucks.

McDermott scored 17 points combined over his first two games of the season, but he broke out in a big way against the reigning NBA champions and posted his first game with at least 20 points since joining San Antonio. Considering he scored 15 or more points in five of his final six appearances during the 2020-21 regular season, it's not a stretch to believe McDermott can emerge as a reliable scoring threat for the Spurs as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

McDermott scored 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added four assists and two rebounds in 19 minutes during the Spurs' preseason finale Friday against the Rockets.

In his third season with the Pacers, McDermott averaged 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.3 steals per game -- all career highs. Given the size of the contract, the Creighton product is set to play a major part of the future in San Antonio. The 29-year-old signing with the Spurs likely means that DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay are on their way out in free agency.

McDermott accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-113 win over the Raptors.

The 29-year-old has now scored double-digit points in 14 straight games, a span in which he's averaging 16.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.3 assists. McDermott averaged career highs in points (13.6), rebounds (3.4) and assists (1.3) through 66 games in his seventh NBA season. He'll look to parlay his recent impressive scoring pace into Tuesday's play-in tournament game.

McDermott poured 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers.

McDermott has scored in double digits in 13 straight games and has clearly settled as one of the most reliable scoring threats in a depleted Pacers roster.

McDermott had 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.

McDermott was one of three Indiana starters that scored in double digits in this one, and while his 11-point tally was tied for the lowest mark over his past seven appearances, he was extremely efficient and missed only one shot from the field. It's worth noting McDermott has scored in double digits in seven games in a row.

McDermott had 31 points (11-14 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in Saturday's win over the Thunder.

With Myles Turner (toe) out indefinitely, and JaKarr Sampson (concussion) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) sidelined, McDermott moved into the starting five and posted his first 30-point effort of the season.

McDermott will start Saturday's contest against the Thunder, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

The Pacers are still missing a variety of key players, so McDermott should continue seeing an expanded role, and he'll be inserted into the starting five for Saturday's game. Over the past four contests, he's averaged 15.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 22.5 minutes.

McDermott scored 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added four rebounds along with four assists over 32 minutes Thursday in a loss to the Nets.

He stood out Monday for his peripheral stats, as he tied his season high with four dimes and also corralled four boards. The forward is averaging 13.1 points on the campaign and shooting a steady 52.6 percent from the field.

McDermott was the first man up in the second unit and went to work right away with a flurry of scoring in the first quarter. He came in for Edmond Sumner, who usurped McDermott's starting role for the evening. Although their minutes were virtually identical, McDermott clearly outplayed the rookie, who seemed a little out of sorts in an unfamiliar frontcourt role. The team was still intent on getting Sumner on the court despite Malcolm Brogdon's return, but his 6-4 frame is better suited as a tool for the backcourt. McDermott's demotion to the bench is likely only a temporary move.

McDermott isn't starting Friday's game against Orlando.

McDermott had started each of the past three games and averaged 11.0 points in 22.3 minutes per contest during that time. However, he'll play a bench role Friday with Domantas Sabonis available against Orlando.

McDermott will not return to Friday's matchup with the Mavericks due to a right ankle sprain, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

McDermott will come off the bench Wednesday against the Pistons.

With Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner back in the lineup, McDermott will return to a bench role. He has been effective off the bench as of late, scoring in double digits in nine consecutive games while shooting 57 percent from the field.

McDermott has come off the bench in two games since being replaced in the starting five by Caris LeVert, and while his scoring production has remained steady so far, it's a little concerning to see him barely hit 20 minutes in Monday's loss. Even so, he continues to get plenty of looks as one of the first players off the bench.

McDermott will come off the bench Saturday at Phoenix, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

The 29-year-old started in his past 10 appearances but will move to the bench with Caris LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) making his debut with the Pacers.

McDermott was hit in the mouth during Monday's game against the 76ers, and he underwent dental work Tuesday.

McDermott remains with the team on its current road trip, but his status for Wednesday's game against Cleveland is uncertain at this point after he had at least one tooth dislodged during Monday's game.

Over his last five games, McDermott has averaged 11.6 points on 42.0 percent shooting, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 threes per game.

McDermott won't return to Monday's game against the 76ers afer suffering a broken tooth.

McDermott suffered what appeared to be a painful injury during the second half, and the team will hold him out the rest of the way. Aaron Holiday and Edmond Sumner could see additional playing time as a result.

McDermott tallied 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and five rebounds across 22 minutes Saturday in a 110-107 loss to the Knicks.

McDermott was the only Pacers starter who played under 30 minutes but utilized his allotted time to lead them in scoring. Since returning from a previous ankle injury, the 29-year-old has averaged 12.3 points across four games. McDermott may supply some increased scoring in upcoming games if fellow starter Malcolm Brogdon (knee) misses more games like he did Saturday. Even so, the veteran is still better suited as a waiver-wire pickup than as an adequate fantasy option.

McDermott (knee) is officially active for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

After testing his knee out during pregame warmups, McDermott appears to be good to go and will play Wednesday. He's averaging 13.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in just over 26 minutes per game this season, and he should return to his usual role in the lineup barring any further setbacks.

A sore right knee landed McDermott on the injury report following Saturday's win over Atlanta, which he finished with 26 points, three rebounds and three assists.

McDermott is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a sore right knee.

McDermott delivered 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes in Saturday's 125-113 win at Atlanta.

McDermott has started back-to-back games ahead of Jeremy Lamb. Saturday's start allowed the Creighton product to score 26 points, his highest points tally as a starter for the Pacers this season.

McDermott had 18 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in Sunday's loss to Utah.

McDermott contributed to the Pacers' struggles from beyond the arc, but he still managed a respectable line and finished with a positive plus-minus in his 32 minutes. McDermott has now scored in double-figures in six of his last seven games. Even so, he's a relatively unattractive fantasy option given that he adds almost nothing in terms of assists, steals, or blocks.

McDermott scored 28 points (12-22 FG, 1-5 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.

McDermott moved to the bench as Jeremy Lamb entered the starting five. However, that didn't stop him from dropping a season-high 28 points. He didn't reach that mark in typical fashion, as he shot poorly from beyond the arc and instead relied on his finishing close to the basket. Even after maintaining a heavy workload, McDermott chipped in very little elsewhere in the box score, leaving him as an inconsistent and empty points producer.

McDermott is coming off the bench Wednesday against the Hornets.

With Jeremy Lamb playing well and moving into the starting five, McDermott will be relegated to a bench role. In 12 games coming off the bench this season, McDermott is averaging 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 23.5 minutes.

McDermott tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes in Friday's 120-118 overtime win over the Magic.

Even with the return of Myles Turner (hand), McDermott cracked the starting lineup for the third straight game and was tied for the team lead in three-pointers made. Since his insert into the starting lineup, McDermott is averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 34 minutes per game.

McDermott went for 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-112 loss to the Mavs.

It was McDermott's second consecutive start with Myles Turner (hand) out and he nearly recorded a double-double but had his second worst shooting performance when shooting the ball 10 or more times. While his shot wasn't falling Wednesday, McDermott is averaging over 18 points per game over his last three outings. However, his impact could be hindered depending on how the Pacers handle Turner's injury.

McDermott had 23 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in Sunday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.

McDermott has scored over 20 points in two of his 13 games this season. The forward achieved said feat just three times last season, when he posted 10.3 PPG. McDermott averaged an improved 12.6 points across 13 games in this campaign.

McDermott will start Sunday's game against the Clippers.

With Myles Turner out, the Pacers will shift Domantas Sabonis up to center, while McDermott enters the lineup at power forward. McDermott had 16 points, three rebounds and three assists off the bench in Thursday's win over Portland.

McDermott produced 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes in Thursday's 111-87 win over the Trail Blazers.

McDermott's numbers won't change much with the arrival of Caris LeVert. The forward has proven to be the most effective placeholder for T.J. Warren, and one should expect steady production until he returns. ]In the short term, he's a valuable waiver wire pickup for teams in need of a forward.

McDermott ended with 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 127-122 loss to the Kings.

McDermott had the hot hand on Monday, dropping a season-high 21 points. This is about as good as it gets for McDermott who currently sits just inside the top-200 in standard leagues. If Victor Oladipo sits out on Tuesday, McDermott could get another opportunity to jack up a few shots. In normal circumstances, he is not worth a look outside of deeper formats.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Suns, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

Despite a sprained ankle, McDermott will take the court Saturday. This season, he's averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes.

McDermott (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

Considering coach Nate Bjorkgren revealed earlier in the day that McDermott practiced Friday and is expected to play against the Suns, his questionable listing is a bit of a puzzler. Given the statement from the coach, however, it seems a better than not chance McDermott will avoid missing additional action due to the ankle issue suffered Wednesday versus the Rockets.

Coach Nate Bjorkgren said McDermott (ankle) practiced Friday and is expected to play Saturday against the Suns, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

The 28-year-old sustained the left ankle sprain during Wednesday's matchup with the Rockets, but it appears he won't miss any additional time. McDermott is averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes this season and should be back on the court Saturday.

McDermott is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets with a left ankle sprain, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury during the second half and subsequently made his way to the locker room. McDermott had six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in six minutes before exiting the contest.

McDermott posted 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT) and nine rebounds in Thursday's victory over the Cavs.

McDermott tallied a season-low two points his last time out, but he bounced back with a strong effort Thursday that included a season-high 18 points. He was the only Pacer reserve to score in double figures and fell one board shy of his first double-double of the season. Though he remains on the fringes of fantasy relevance, McDermott has at least improved his stock by boosting his rebounding to a career-best 5.0 per game through five contests.

McDermott tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 27 minutes Sunday in the Pacers' 108-107 win over the Celtics.

McDermott has popped for double-digit points in each of the Pacers' first three games, but aside from drilling a handful of three-pointers (five), his production in other categories is lacking. That's nothing new for McDermott, who hasn't averaged more than 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals or 0.5 blocks in any of his first six NBA seasons. He likely won't be worth using as anything more than a points and three-pointers streamer in deeper leagues in 2020-21.

McDermott (knee) is off the injury report for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.

McDermott was dealing with a knee bruise, but he's feeling healthy enough to play in Indiana's preseason finale. The Pacers' regular-season opener is Wednesday against the Knicks.

McDermott (knee) practiced Wednesday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

McDermott left the Pacers' preseason game on Monday due to a bruised knee, but he's shaken off the injury and practiced in full Wednesday. It seems likely he'll play Friday against the 76ers.

McDermott is questionable to return to Monday's preseason game against the Cavaliers due to a left knee contusion, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

McDermott played only three minutes during the first half before heading to the locker room with the injury. Given the proximity to next week's season opener, the team figures to be caution with his potential return Monday.

McDermott scored 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding two rebounds, and assist and a steal in 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 107-104 preseason loss to the Cavaliers.

With T.J. Warren (foot) sidelined, Aaron Holiday (three points, four assists in 23 minutes) got the start for the Pacers but it was McDermott who took the most advantage of the opportunity, leading the Pacers' bench in scoring on the night. The 28-year-old has played for five different teams in six NBA seasons and has never lived up to his billing as the 11th overall pick in the 2014 draft, but he could see a significant role on the second unit this year in Indiana, at least until Jeremy Lamb (knee) is ready to rejoin the lineup.

McDermott provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and a steal across 21 minutes in Friday's 109-92 win against the Heat.

With a host of Pacers riding the pine on Friday, McDermott went off in the second unit. He drilled five threes in 11 attempts from beyond the arc and posted his second-best scoring total of the season. His 2019-20 averages are the best of his six-year career, which has included stints with five different teams.

McDermott (knee) scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 13 minutes during Saturday's 116-111 win over the Lakers.

McDermott rejoined the rotation following a one-game absence due to knee soreness. However, he was mostly a non-factor, finishing with as many fouls as points in limited minutes. McDermott is capable of producing double-digit scoring nights despite his modest reserve role. Still, he's primarily a three-point specialist.

McDermott (knee) is available for Saturday's contest against the Lakers, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After a one-game absence due to right knee soreness, McDermott is expected to be back in action. In the bubble, he's averaging 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.3 minutes.

McDermott (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Lakers.

McDermott was a late scratch Thursday due to right knee soreness, but he could make a return Saturday. With T.J. Warren (foot) and Myles Turner (ankle) also questionable, the Pacers could be extremely thin in the frontcourt.

McDermott is a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a sore right knee.

McDermott will miss his first game of bubble play Thursday. He's seen 16.3 minutes per game, and with him out, those minutes could funnel to Edmond Sumner, Jakarr Sampson and/or T.J. Leaf, though nothing may be actionable in DFS.

McDermott went for 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Spurs.

McDermott got hot from beyond the arc and had an efficient scoring night. If Victor Oladipo (knee) opts to sit out the official games and Domantas Sabonis (foot) is ruled out for a significant amount of time, that could result in a bit more playing time for McDermott. However, he generally contributes very little outside of the three-point shooting department.

McDermott (toe) has healed from his right toe soreness, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.

McDermott missed the Pacers' final three games leading up to the suspension of the season. From February onward, he's averaged 10.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.6 minutes.

McDermott (toe) remains out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.

McDermott was able to go through shootaround, but the team will play it safe and hold him out of a third consecutive game. Following Tuesday's game, the Pacers have three days off before playing in Philadelphia on Saturday.

McDermott (toe) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game versus Boston.

If he does sit, it will be the third straight absence for McDermott, who is dealing with soreness in his right big toe.

McDermott (toe) will not be available for Sunday's game against the Mavs, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.

As expected, McDermott will miss a second straight game as he nurses a sore right toe. The good news for the Pacers, however, is they'll get T.J. Warren (leg) back, while Victor Oladipo (knee) will also play.

McDermott (toe) is doubtful for Sunday's action against the Mavericks, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

McDemott is expected to miss a second game with a sore right big toe. In his presumed absence, Edmond Sumner and JaKarr Sampson are candidates to see extra minutes.

McDermott (toe) is out Friday against the Bulls, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

A toe injury will force McDermott to miss his first game of the season. In his place, Edmond Sumner and JaKarr Sampson could see extra run.

McDermott (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

McDermott apparently emerged from Wednesday's loss to the Bucks with a toe injury, though he still finished with 16 points on six of eight shooting. He'll likely test the issue out during Friday's shootaround before a determination is made regarding his availability.

McDermott posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals, one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Bucks.

McDermott was able to catch fire Wednesday, but the rest of his teammates weren't able to step up. He scored at least 16 points for the first time since Feb. 5, and his two steals represented a season high. McDermott remains a deadly three-point shooter, hitting 43.2 percent of his triples across the past 10 games, but he can't seem to crack the sort of minutes threshold that would make him relevant in fantasy.

McDermott scored 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) in 14 minutes off the bench during Friday's 106-98 win at the Knicks.

McDermott didn't contribute in any other category aside from scoring and that has been case during most of the season. Even though he's a regular member of the rotation with a firmly entrenched role off the bench, McDermott needs to find a bit more consistency with his scoring touch. During his last 10 games, he has posted five double-digit efforts and five single-digit performances, averaging 11.2 points while shooting 49.4 percent from the field during that stretch.

McDermott scored 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding four rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Raptors.

The journeyman forward continues to provide the Pacers with a consistent shooting threat from the outside. McDermott has drained multiple threes in seven of the last 13 games, averaging 14.2 points, 2.9 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.3 assists over that stretch, but his minutes could dwindle as Victor Oladipo shakes off his rust.

McDermott supplied 19 points (6-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 29 minutes Sunday against Portland.

McDermott's now scored in double-digits in six of his past seven games and is averaging 3.0 threes per contest at a 58.5 percent conversion rate during that span. While his shooting has certainly been impressive, McDermott remains unable to produce much elsewhere. His season-long averages of 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.1 assists per game make him a borderline play at best in standard formats.

McDermott posted 25 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 129-118 win over the Warriors.

McDermott sunk six three=pointers for the second time this month, which helped crank the forward's scoring total up a notch. McDermott's found his way to 25 minutes on the court consistently throughout the season and is rounding out the month of January with some excellent stat lines due to his three-point prowess.

McDermott racked up 24 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over the Nuggets.

McDermott finished with a career high in made threes and a season high in scoring. Furthermore, he has gotten significantly better at attacking the basket and finishing in close when the occasion calls for it, making himself much more dangerous. Having scored in double figures in four of the last five games, McDermott will try to stay hot heading into Monday's matchup versus the Jazz.

McDermott posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 23 minutes during Friday's 116-114 win over the Timberwolves.

McDermott finished with a season high in rebounding while scoring in double figures for the third time in the last four tilts. He's only a viable option in deeper leagues, but McDermott has been much more effective in this his second year with the Pacers, posting a career high in threes per game.
