Spalding (knee) compiled 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal over 18 minutes Wednesday versus Austin.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding didn't take the floor Monday due to a knee contusion, but it didn't require much attention. He's had multiple brief stints due to a knee issue so far, so it could be a situation where Spalding occasionally requires a night off.

Spalding didn't suit up for Monday's game versus Austin due to a right knee contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding missed his second game with a knee issue, but his last stay on the sideline was a brief one. He previously missed a large chunk of time due to an Achilles issue, but it's unclear if the one could have an impact on the other.

Spalding (knee) compiled eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal over 17 minutes Tuesday versus the Squadron.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding ultimately missed only one game because of the knee injury, and he should be a regular part of the rotation off the bench moving forward.

Spalding did not play Saturday versus the Legends due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding is coming off of a major Achilles issue that has prevented him from playing since 2020-21, so he hasn't been through the rigors of a season in a bit. It's unclear at this point how long the knee issue will keep him on the sidelines.

Spalding (Achilles) compiled five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and a block over 15 minutes in Thursday's game versus the Hustle.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding had been sidelined early in the season by an Achilles issue dating back to 2021. He has finally recovered to the point of making his season debut, playing 15 minutes off the bench. Spalding will presumably continue to be eased back into action following his extended layoff, but he's off to a decent start.

Spalding missed Rio Grande Valley's opener versus the Capitanes due to right Achilles irritation.
EDGE Analysis
Spalding hasn't appeared in the G League since 2020-21 due to an Achilles injury. It appears the problem is still lingering, but he should contribute for the Vipers once he's finally recovered from the issue.

Spalding (Achilles) was reacquired by the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Feb. 18 and was subsequently deactivated, RealGM.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
During his brief time at the NBA level with the Rockets earlier this month, Spalding appeared in two games before suffering an apparently serious Achilles injury. The Rockets subsequently waived him from his two-way contract, but the organization will retain his G League rights. With the G League season set to end in mid-March, Spalding doesn't look like he'll be ready to play in the Orlando bubble at any point.
