McDermott racked up 20 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 128-120 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
San Antonio's bench outscored Denver's bench 58-25, with McDermott leading the charge after two straight games on the shelf with a thumb injury. The Spurs are finally getting healthy, so it would be wishful thinking to expect this type of production from McDermott going forward.

McDermott (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott is back following two missed games resulting from a sprained right thumb. The Spurs are as healthy as they've been in a while, though McDermott should still have a role in the rotation, as he has all season. He's shooting 40.2 percent from three since the start of the new year.

McDermott (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the second straight game on the sidelines for McDermott, and with Jeremy Sochan (knee) joining him on the inactive list, Keldon Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop should get all the run they can handle. McDermott's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nuggets.

McDermott (thumb) is out for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott won't play Saturday due to a right thumb sprain he suffered against the Pacers. Keita Bates-Diop will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. McDermott's next chance to suit up is Sunday's rematch with Houston.

McDermott has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Pacers with a sprained right thumb, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott will finish Thursday's contest scoreless (0-3 FG) with one assist in just seven minutes of action. Keita Bates-Diop and Devin Vassell figure to see more minutes for the rest of the tilt. McDermott's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Rockets in the opening leg of a back-to-back set.

McDermott supplied 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt) and three rebounds over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott turned back the clock in the win, dropping 19 points, including five triples. Before managers go tripping over themselves to pick him up, it should be noted that this was his highest scoring game since late October. His minutes shift from one game to the next, meaning his ROS outlook is far from certain. At best, he should be viewed as a potential streaming option for anyone desperate for points and threes.

McDermott (Achilles) finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and three rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott had a strong showing in his return from a two-game absence, offering a lift on the second unit with his fourth-best scoring output of the season. The 31-year-old forward likely isn't viewed as a high-priority option for the rebuilding Spurs, so he could see his minutes dip following the All-Star break, when San Antonio will return the likes of Devin Vassell (knee), Tre Jones (foot) and Romeo Langford (adductor) to the rotation at some point.

McDermott is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with right Achilles soreness. The veteran forward is averaging 7.6 points, 2.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 20.6 minutes across his previous five appearances.

McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott is questionable to miss his third straight game due to right Achilles soreness. Dominic Barlow and Keita Bates-Diop have seen extended minutes in his absence. If McDermott is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Feb. 23 against Dallas.
