Anderson (knee) will remain out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has missed the last seven games with a sprained MCL, and he remains without a firm return date. The Spurs initially handed down a two-to-three-week timetable on Dec. 4, so it looks as though Anderson is trending toward the latter end of that estimation. Look for his status to be updated prior to Wednesday's game in Portland.

Anderson is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks with a sprained MCL in his left knee, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson went down with a non-contact injury during Sunday's game against the Thunder, so despite likely missing a couple of weeks, this is great news overall considering he's avoided anything overly serious. A timetable of 2-to-3 weeks puts a return in mid-to-late December, so look for Anderson to miss at least the next seven games, with his first opportunity to return on Dec. 18 against the Clippers. While the Spurs haven't announced who will start in his place, Rudy Gay should be one of the main beneficiaries, while guys like Davis Bertans and Manu Ginobili could be relied upon for a few more minutes at small forward as well.

Anderson (knee) will not play in Monday's game against the Pistons, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson suffered a left MCL sprain in Sunday's loss to the Thunder and is undergoing tests Monday to determine a timetable. It's unlikely that Anderson makes his return to the floor anytime soon given the nature of the injury, which will likely result in Rudy Gay seeing an expanded role on the wing.

Anderson was diagnosed with a left knee sprain and will not returnto Sunday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's injury was non-contact and the former UCLA standout was in what looked like extreme pain underneath the basket when he went down. The Spurs are entering a stretch where they'll play four games in six days, so the team will likely remain cautious with Anderson, and he should be considered questionable-at-best to play in Monday's game against the Pistons.

Anderson left Sunday's game against the Thunder with an apparent knee injury, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was reportedly down under the basket screaming in pain after suffering a non-contact injury on his way down. Given that Anderson had to be helped to the locker room by his teammates, it's pretty safe to assume that he won't be returning to Sunday's contest. With the Spurs already resting a number of players, coach Gregg Popovich will have to go deep into his bench for the final quarter of the game. Expect an update to come on Anderson following Sunday's game.

Anderson supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and five steals across 31 minutes in Saturday's 106-86 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson enjoyed an excellent shooting night and was just as impressive on the defensive end, with his five steals serving as a season high. The 24-year-old has shot between 57.1 percent and Saturday's 75.0 percent in four of his last five games, and he's complemented his sharpshooting with at least five rebounds in five of his last six contests. With his penchant for multi-category production, he remains a viable mid-tier forward option in season-long and daily formats as long as Kawhi Leonard (ankle) remains sidelined.

Anderson scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 10 assists, six rebounds and a block in 30 minutes during Monday's 96-85 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third double-double of the season for Anderson, who came into 2017-18 with only one in his previous three NBA campaigns. He's now averaging 10.2 points, 5.8 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals over his last six games, and he should continue providing useful numbers until Kawhi Leonard (ankle) gets back on the court.

Anderson managed 10 points (5-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes in Friday's 94-87 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old posted his second double-double of the season while scoring double digits for the first time in the last five games. Anderson has shot a blistering 60.7 percent from the field in five November contests, shooting no less than 62.5 percent in any of those games. While his role in the offense won't enable him to generate many explosive offensive outings, he's certainly maximizing his opportunities as of late while also turning in solid efforts on the glass (6.8 rebounds per game). He's also been more effective as a ball distributor recently, dishing out a season-high four assists in three of five November games.

Anderson posted 16 points (5-8 FG, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 112-92 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to start in place of Kawhi Leonard and his averages have nearly doubled across the board as a result. While he is sharing duties at the 3 with Rudy Gay, Anderson will continue to have some value until Leonard returns. After that, the 24-year-old will return to the bench in a reserve role and will have minimal fantasy value unless Leonard aggravates his injury further.

Anderson tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 117-100 victory over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Nights like Wednesday's double-double should not be expected often because of Anderson's lack of an outside shot, but he made the most of his chances Wednesday and picked up the slack on the boards. Through four games, he's averaging 9.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
