San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 ankle sprain. As a result, he is expected to miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season. This was McDermott's first year in a Spurs jersey, and he was one of the team's core contributors during his time on the court. He played in 51 games and started each one of them, averaging 11.3 points and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Devin Vassell has stepped into the starting five with McDermott out, and he's had a good run lately. Vassell should be rostered in just about all fantasy leagues the rest of the way.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He'll miss his second game in a row after hurting his ankle during this past Saturday's contest. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned that McDermott's injury is pretty serious, so this should be considered a week-to-week type of situation. In the meantime, Josh Richardson is expected to remain in the starting five. He doesn't have a ton of upside even when starting, so Richardson is mainly worth looking at in deep leagues.

San Antonio Spurs small forwards Doug McDermott (ankle) and Romeo Langford (hamstring) have been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Timberwolves. McDermott returned from a one-game absence to start and play just three minutes before departing Saturday; Langford has suited up just once dating back to Feb. 8 due to a hamstring ailment. With the Spurs thin on the wing, Lonnie Walker IV, Josh Richardson, and Devin Vassell can all be viewed as upside DFS plays, particularly against a Minnesota team that plays at a breakneck pace, ranking second in the league entering play Monday. The next chance that McDermott or Langford will have to suit up comes Wednesday vs. Oklahoma City.

San Antonio Spurs small forward Doug McDermott (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. the Jazz. McDermott has been a steady asset among the team's starting five this year, but he has not reached the 30-minute threshold since Dec. 12, significantly capping his fantasy appeal in DFS and season-long formats. McDermott's absence, alongside that of Joshua Primo (illness) and Romeo Langford (hamstring), paves the way for Josh Richardson and Lonnie Walker IV to see significant increases in usage. McDermott has knocked down a career-best 2.2 triples per outing this season, with his next opportunity to improve upon that mark coming Saturday against Indiana.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He appears to be the newest addition to the injury report with a non-COVID related illness. Josh Richardson could be asked to slide into the starting five, assuming McDermott is unable to play. Normally, Richardson isn't a reliable fantasy option, but should have more value than normal, assuming McDermott sits. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time on Saturday.

San Antonio Spurs small forwards Doug McDermott (knee) and Romeo Langford (groin) have been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's game against the Kings. McDermott remains a solid source of three-pointers for fantasy managers in season-long formats in need of triples, as the sharpshooter has knocked down 52.6% of his long-range attempts since Jan. 30. Langford, if he checks in, will be making his Spurs debut after being acquired from the Celtics. He is unlikely to alter San Antonio's second unit drastically, having played more than 20 minutes just once since the calendar flipped.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) and guard Romeo Langford (groin) are both listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. McDermott is dealing with right knee soreness, an injury he's been able to play through over the past week. Langford, meanwhile, has yet to make his Spurs debut as he's been hampered by left groin tightness. It's unclear how big of a role Langford will have with the team once he's healthy, but he's someone worth watching. McDermott, meanwhile, has been one of the Spurs primary contributors. He's started each of the 46 games he's played while averaging 24.5 minutes per contest. If he's unable to go, we'd likely see either Lonnie Walker IV or Keita Bates-Diop enter the starting five in his place.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. His status was uncertain coming into this game, but McDermott will play and start on Monday. He'll join Keldon Johnson, Jakob Poeltl, Devin Vassell and Dejounte Murray in the starting five. Josh Richardson won't have as much streaming appeal with McDermott back. Fantasy managers can probably find a better option, but McDermott has low-end streaming value for this game.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played on Saturday, but only lasted 20 minutes due to knee soreness. The Spurs are rebuilding, so it wouldn't be shocking to see them rest a veteran like McDermott on Monday. Lonnie Walker IV and Josh Richardson would likely gain playing time, assuming McDermott is out. Walker is the much better streaming option between the two players.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, but is expected to play on Friday. His return should move Devin Vassell back to the second unit. Both players have been decent scoring options for the Spurs, but don't have a huge upside in fantasy formats. Vassell is the better option between the two and is worth looking at in most leagues.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) and small forward Doug McDermott (ankle) have picked up questionable designations ahead of Thursday's contest vs. the Heat. Murray was able to play through the ailment to log 27 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists across 38 minutes Tuesday, a positive sign for his potential availability. McDermott, who has scored in double figures in each of his last three outings, is battling a sprained right ankle. An absence on the wing would thrust Devin Vassell into a larger role, thereby becoming a sizable DFS target. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off Thursday to get the final word on the status of both Murray and McDermott.

San Antonio Spurs small forward Doug McDermott has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and will suit up for Friday's contest against Cleveland. McDermott missed seven games under the protocols, with his return likely to bump Keita Bates-Diop to the second unit, thereby zapping him of DFS appeal. McDermott enjoyed solid production during December, averaging 12.3 points per contest despite playing less than 24 minutes on a nightly basis. His minutes figure to be capped out of the gates due to the two-week layoff, but his 41 percent marksmanship from long range may persuade fantasy managers to fire him up in season-long formats from the get-go.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (mouth) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed Sunday's game due to a tooth infection, but it sounds like he'll return here. Devin Vassell is expected to head back to the bench, assuming McDermott does return on Monday. There hasn't been much value from McDermott this season, but he does have some low-end deep league value. Vassell wouldn't have much appeal off the bench.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott won't be able to help his side on Sunday against Sacramento, sitting out the game with a tooth infection. McDermott's season hasn't gone too well, but he's one of the best shooters on the squad and San Antonio will definitely be less of a threat from downtown without him. Lonnie Walker IV and Devin Vassell are set to eat up a few more minutes. These are two pacy teams and the Kings are among the league's worst defensive sides, so it's a great matchup for managers from a DFS perspective.

San Antonio Spurs small forwards Doug McDermott (knee) and Devin Vassell (quad) have been given the green light to get back into action for Thursday's contest against Portland. McDermott returns from a four-game absence, while Vassell is back in the mix after being down the past two games. Keita Bates-Diop started each of San Antonio's last four outings, but he is expected to revert to the second unit, which zaps him of nearly all his fantasy intrigue. McDermott has reached the 30-minute threshold just twice across 12 games, so his season-long appeal can be kept in check. Vassell has been wildly hit or miss as of late, having delivered scoring outputs of 19, two, 18, 17, and three over his last five games.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (quad) and Doug McDermott (knee) are listed as out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Both players missed Friday's game as well, so it's not shocking to see them sidelined again. In the meantime, Derrick White, Lonnie Walker IV and Bryn Forbes will be asked to step up. Forbes could have some deep league appeal, while White is the best all around option out of the trio.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five while McDermott nurses a knee issue. Despite starting, Bates-Diop hasn't done much worth adding him in fantasy formats. Instead, Bryn Forbes has picked up the slack and played well lately. Devin Vassell (quad) will join McDermott on the sideline for Friday. That means, Forbes and Lonnie Walker IV will have some sneaky appeal for Friday's slate.

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Doug McDermott (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to continued inflammation in his right knee. With McDermott down, Keita Bates-Diop will again join the starting five, although he only played 19 minutes with the same role Monday. The absence of the sharpshooting McDermott has opened added field-goal attempts for Lonnie Walker IV and Devin Vassell, both of whom got up double-digit shots in San Antonio's latest outing. The next chance for McDermott and his 10.4 points per game average to return to action comes Friday vs. the Celtics.

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Doug McDermott (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns due to right knee inflammation. McDermott previously missed three games earlier this year, opening the door for Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker IV to take on elevated roles within the offense. On Monday, Keita Bates-Diop will shift into the starting five for his first start of the year, giving him DFS punt play appeal, despite averaging just 12.5 minutes per game this season. When healthy, McDermott remains a steady source of threes, knocking down 2.1 per contest, while shooting at a 43.8 percent clip. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday vs. Atlanta.

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) will start in his return to the court Wednesday. McDermott was averaging a career-high 2.5 makes per game from downtown before his injury- so he could be a viable streamer for those looking for threes Wednesday. Joining McDermott in the starting five will be Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, Keldon Johnson, and Drew Eubanks. Eubanks has been a per-36 minute darling and could have some DFS appeal while Jakob Poeltl is in the health and safety protocols.
