Primo (quad) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Knicks, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo took a knee to the thigh during Sunday's OT loss to the Nets, but he'll play through the discomfort as the Spurs complete a back-to-back set, as well as a seven-game road swing. Primo has started the last two games in place of Derrick White (COVID-19 protocols) and will likely be in line for another start Monday.

Primo is listed as probable for Monday's contest against the Knicks with a left quadriceps contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Primo has made two straight starts while the Spurs have been shorthanded due to multiple players landing in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Between those contests, the rookie first-round pick has totaled 21 points, five assists, three rebounds, two blocks and one steal. If available Monday, he could be in store for another start.

Primo finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 119-100 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
With the Spurs shorthanded, Primo drew the first start of his career. The rookie first-round pick's performance wasn't spectacular, but he avoided big mistakes and played an efficient game, which will likely garner him extended looks moving forward. Saturday marked the seventh time Primo played double-digit minutes and just the second time he eclipsed 20-plus minutes. It's possible Primo could wind up on fantasy radars if he continues to see an uptick in playing time.

Primo finished with 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 129-104 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Primo has been thriving for the Spurs at the G League level and delivered his best performance in the NBA today, as he took advantage of the fact that he played a season-high mark in minutes as well. He's not expected to log 20-plus minutes once the team gets healthier, however, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Primo spending most of the season at the G League level.

Primo had 23 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and a block across 34 minutes in the win over the Ignite on Dec. 20.
EDGE Analysis
Primo looked impressive in the first game of the showcase for Austin, but his strong efforts at the G League have been noticeable. For what it's worth, that has allowed him to be called up constantly to San Antonio, where he's been endured to a lesser role off the bench.

Primo was recalled from the NBA G League ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons, independent NBA journalist Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo, along with Joe Wieskamp and Devontae Cacok, are all being called up for Sunday's game against the Pistons. With the G League announcing all games have been called off from Dec. 27 through Jan. 4, Primo will suit up for the Spurs and provide them with some added depth in the backcourt. The 19-year-old guard has appeared in eight games this year, averaging two points in 7.4 minutes per contest.

EDGE Analysis
Primo has been moving between the NBA and the G League this season, and while his shooting figures in this game were not impressive, he still found a way to deliver a strong output. Primo is averaging 16.7 points per game this season.

EDGE Analysis
