McDermott was traded from the Spurs to the Pacers on Thursday for a second-round pick and Marcus Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a fairly low-stakes addition for Indiana, who was looking to add a sharpshooter to help fuel a playoff run. McDermott could see a marginally increased role, but it's still unlikely he'll be fantasy relevant.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott will suit up Monday after missing Saturday's loss to Chicago due to a right ankle sprain. He posted exactly 14 points and two rebounds in each of his last two appearances and figures to handle a modest bench role versus Atlanta.

McDermott (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs will likely re-evaluate McDermott during Monday's morning shootaround before determining if he'll be forced to miss a second straight game due to a right ankle sprain. The veteran forward hasn't been a major part of San Antonio's rotation of late, having played 20 minutes or fewer in 14 of his last 15 appearances.

McDermott (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott sprained his right ankle in Friday's 135-99 win over the Hornets, and the second half of a back-to-back comes too soon for him to return. The Spurs will miss his outside shooting, though. McDermott's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday as the Spurs continue their road trip through the Eastern Conference.

McDermott (ankle) has drawn a doubtful designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Bulls, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott indicated following Friday's win that his status for the second night of a back-to-back set was up in the air, so this is no surprise. Barring a quick recovery, the veteran forward does not appear to be trending in the right direction. If he indeed gets ruled out, Cedi Osman could be in for a slightly increased workload.

McDermott (ankle) said his status is "iffy" for Saturday's matchup with the Bulls, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott sprained his right ankle in Friday's 135-99 win over the Hornets. Prior to exiting, he recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds across 12 minutes. His status Saturday will depend on how his ankle is feeling during pregame warmups. Cedi Osman would presumably be the primary beneficiary if McDermott can't play Saturday.

McDermott will not return to Friday's game against the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain, ESPN's Andrew Lopez reports. He finished with 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds in 12 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs put this game away early, so the lopsided score could have factored into the decision as well. San Antonio will play again Saturday versus the Bulls, and McDermott should be considered questionable for that one. If he can't suit up, Cedi Osman could be more involved.

McDermott (forearm) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, McDermott has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up Sunday after missing San Antonio's previous contest. The sharpshooter is shooting 44.2 percent on 3.6 three-point attempts per game this season.

McDermott (forearm) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis

McDermott has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to a right forearm contusion, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott wasn't on the Spurs' initial injury report, but he'll sit for the first time since the start of December. He had played double-digit minutes in each of his last five appearances, averaging 5.8 points in 16.4 minutes per game. Julian Champagnie and Blake Wesley could see a few additional minutes Wednesday.
