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

EDGE Analysis

McDermott is suffering from a tooth infection and won't be available Sunday against Sacramento, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
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, Devin Vassell, Bryn Forbes and Keita Bates-Diop could all pick up a few extra minutes with McDermott out. McDermott and the Spurs will have a quick turnaround with the team playing the Clippers on Monday in the second half of a back-to-back set.

McDermott (knee) produced 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes Thursday in the Spurs' 114-83 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
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.
