Keita Bates-Diop News
San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop (Achilles) is unlikely to play against the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs are in trouble, as Jeremy Sochan (knee) is out, while Zach Collins (biceps) and Doug McDermott (hip) are questionable. As a result, Dominick Barlow could see plenty of minutes at the four on Sunday. However, the 19-year-old has averaged only 3.2 points during the 2022-23 campaign, so even the most desperate of fantasy managers will have a hard time relying on him for production.
San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop (foot) is sidelined on Saturday versus Miami. Bates-Diop has averaged 13.1 points and shooting an impressive 47.6% from deep in eight starts this season, getting some additional work with Jeremy Sochan (quadriceps) out of the lineup. However, with both men unavailable, the door is open Doug McDermott, who had 12 points versus the Rockets on Thursday, to continue to benefit, keeping him classified as a viable streaming option in deeper formats.
San Antonio Spurs power forward Keita Bates-Diop (foot) will miss Thursday's contest against the Rockets. He is listed out with a left mid-foot sprain and is forced to take a breather in the middle of a really good spell. Bates-Diop was promoted to the starting lineup last week and he went on to have three consecutive games with double-figure scoring before getting hurt. He's been averaging 7.9 points a night for the whole season with 2.9 rebounds in 18.1 minutes. Both Doug McDermott (ankle) and Josh Richardson (ankle) appear on track to return Thursday and should pick up most of Diop's minutes.
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Joshua Primo (illness) and power forward Keita Bates-Diop (back) have been listed as doubtful to play in Friday's game vs. Utah. Primo has already been sidelined for one outing due to the illness, with Tre Jones and Josh Richardson absorbing his minutes. Bates-Diop is on track to miss a third straight contest, with Zach Collins and Joe Wieskamp moving up the depth chart in his place. Primo, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has shown flashes of being an exciting fantasy asset in the years to come despite averaging just 5.0 PPG. The next best shot that either he or Bates-Diop will have at returning to action comes Saturday against the Pacers.
