McDermott (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Cleveland, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott suffered the Achilles injury during Friday's loss to the Pistons and was sidelined for the Spurs' subsequent contest Saturday. He's one of a handful of players on San Antonio's injury report, so it's currently unclear what Greg Popovich's rotation will look like versus the Cavaliers.

McDermott won't play in Saturday's game against the Hawks due to right Achilles soreness, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott suffered the injury in Friday's 138-131 double-overtime loss to the Pistons, tallying seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in 19 minutes. The severity of his injury isn't yet known, so he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Spurs' upcoming two-game slate next week prior to the All-Star break.

McDermott tweaked his right Achilles and will not return Friday against the Pistons according to Paul Garcia of Project Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran sharpshooter played 19 minutes before leaving the contest for good, finishing with seven points, two assists, one rebound and one three-pointer. If McDermott ends up missing additional time, we could see more of Keita Bates-Diop and Stanley Johnson.

McDermott supplied 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward continues to supply an outside shooting threat for the Spurs, although he could be filling that role for a contender after Thursday's trade deadline. McDermott has drained multiple threes in six of the last nine games while shooting 41.5 percent from beyond the arc, but he doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective.

McDermott finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes in Monday's 147-127 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott came off the bench to make his third appearance for the Spurs following a one-game absence due to a back issue. He turned in by far his best fantasy line of the three games Monday, but it took a flawless shooting night from downtown to get there. Even still, McDermott remained under 20 minutes and barely contributed elsewhere around the box score, which has been a familiar refrain throughout his career. McDermott isn't a player to monitor outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues, or on nights with a low volume of games where managers are looking to stream a player for three-pointers.

McDermott (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.
EDGE Analysis

McDermott (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott missed Sunday's contest due to back soreness and is at risk of missing a second straight game. In his absence, Josh Richardson logged 21 points over 30 minutes and would be in line for another expanded role if McDermott sits.

McDermott (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott had scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances, and he averaged 12.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game during that time. Josh Richardson, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop are candidates to see increased run Sunday, while McDermott's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against Brooklyn.

McDermott is questionable for Sunday's game against Sacramento due to upper back tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott seems to have tweaked his back in Friday's game against Golden State, during which he tallied 14 points in 22 minutes. If he were to sit, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop would likely earn more minutes.
