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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 McDermott 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 will compete with Jeremy Sochan for the team's starting small forward spot 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 to New Orleans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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 has averaged 11.7 points while 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 a 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
