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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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. He finished his final game pre-injury (Oct. 23 vs. MIL) with 25 points (7-11 3Pt) and four rebounds in 32 minutes.

McDermott (knee) will be available Wednesday against the Mavericks, Bruno Passos of Pounding the Rock reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knee inflammation kept McDermott out over the past three games, and now he's ready to return. Before sustaining the injury, McDermott was averaging 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 28.3 minutes. He'll likely return to the starting five.

McDermott (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has missed the past three games due to right knee inflammation, but he could return Wednesday. So far this season, he's started each of his four appearances and is averaging 11.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 25.5 minutes.

McDermott (knee) had an MRI come back negative, but the forward is still expected to miss the Spurs' next three games, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott tweaked his knee against the Lakers on Tuesday and is dealing with swelling. With him expected to be out until Nov. 3, more minutes could be in store for Lonnie Walker, Devin Vassell and Keita Bates-Diop.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott finished the preseason averaging 9.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.1 minutes. He shot 42.9 percent from distance. He should see minutes in the mid-to-high 20s for the Spurs this season.

McDermott and the Spurs agreed to terms on a three-year, $42 million deal Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
