Anderson will return to a reserve role in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Grizzlies' radio announcer Eric Hasseltine reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson got a spot start for Danny Green in Sunday's win over the Jazz. He posted six points (1-3 FG, 4-4 FT), ten rebounds, four assists, and three triples across 32 minutes in the contest. Although he performed well, Jonathan Simmons will start for Danny Green Tuesday. Anderson figures to return to his usual workload as a result.

Anderson will start at shooting guard for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Usual starter Danny Green is sitting out Sunday's contest with a bruised thigh, so coach Gregg Popovich will turn to Anderson to fill in with the top unit. Anderson will be making his 13th start of the season, but he boasts averages of just 5.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 25.7 minutes while working in the starting lineup this season, so only a mild boost in numbers should be expected.

Contrary to previous reports which indicated that Anderson would be starting in place of Danny Green (rest), Anderson will continue to come off the bench while Jonathon Simmons draws the start at shooting guard, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Gregg Popovich has been known to switch around his starting five just prior to tipoff without explanation, and that seems to be the case for Saturday. Though Anderson will come off the bench, it's possible he still sees 20 to 30 minutes of run.

Anderson will draw the start at shooting guard Saturday against the Knicks, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Danny Green (rest) out Saturday, coach Gregg Popovich will opt to insert Anderson into the starting five. Anderson's playing time has fluctuated heavily throughout the season, but in 12 games as a starter, he's averaged 5.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 25.7 minutes per game. So, even though he could be in line for a solid bump in workload, he may not be the best low-priced DFS play.

Anderson will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson drew the spot start on Saturday against the Warriors with Kawhi Leonard (concussion) sitting out, posting a respectable 13 points, eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes. However, with Leonard back in the starting five, Anderson will return to the bench and should see a significant drop in playing time. Anderson's role has been highly volatile over the last month or so, but for the most part, he's been left out of the regular rotation.

Anderson (leg) tallied 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes in Saturday's 107-85 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had missed Thursday's game against the Thunder with leg soreness but drew the start for Kawhi Leonard (concussion) on Saturday, providing his best scoring total since Jan. 23 while dishing out a season high number of assists. Anderson would presumably be in for another run with the first unit on Monday night versus the Hawks if Leonard isn't cleared in time for the contest.

Anderson (leg) will start at small forward for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he missed Thursday's tilt with soreness in his leg, Anderson will draw the start for the short-handed Spurs against the Warriors on Saturday. His workload has been choppy all season, but he's averaging 8.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks per 36 minutes this season, and he'll likely see heavy time Saturday.

Anderson (leg) will not play travel for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is reportedly suffering from some soreness in his right leg, causing him to exit Wednesday's game late in the fourth quarter. It doesn't sound as though it's a long-term issue, but it will at least hold him out one additional contest, making his earliest return date Saturday against the Warriors. He doesn't generally see a ton of minutes, but the Spurs will be without a bit of depth as they prepare for Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Thursday.

Anderson went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game with an apparent left leg injury, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of the issue remains a bit of a mystery, but it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't return given that it occurred late in the fourth quarter. Assuming he's done for the night, he will finish the night with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3PT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block. The team should update his status again ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Thunder.

Anderson provided two points (0-1 FG, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across nine minutes in a 110-106 win over the Pacers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Though fellow swingman Jonathon Simmons recently missed a game with an illness, Anderson hasn't been able to pick up any meaningful playing time lately. He's seen single-digit minutes in four consecutive contests and doesn't look as though he'll be on track for an expanded role anytime soon.
