McDermott scored four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes Thursday against the Hawks. McDermott started again Thursday as Mike Dunleavy was forced to miss another game due to injury. Although he didn't score much, McDermott was at least able to contribute on the glass. McDermott continues to get more minutes with the starting unit and Dunleavy is used to coming off of the bench, so don't be surprised to see McDermott in the starting lineup at some point even when Dunleavy is healthy.
