Spurs' Doug McDermott out for the rest of the season

Spurs forward Doug McDermott will miss the remainder of the season because of a Grade 3 ankle sprain, tweets Jeff McDonald of The San Antonio Express-News.

McDermott left Saturday’s game against the Pacers after rolling the ankle in the first quarter. He was ruled out for Monday’s game before the team decided to have him sit out the rest of the season.

McDermott moved into the starting lineup after coming to San Antonio in a sign-and-trade deal with Indiana last summer. He played in 51 games, missing significant time while in health and safety protocols, and averaged 11.3 points per night while shooting 42.2% from three-point range.

The 30-year-old will earn $13.75M in each of the next two seasons and will become a free agent in 2024.
