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.
EDGE Analysis
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 first two categories, however.

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