Osman (ankle) won't play Friday in New Orleans, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Osman exited Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets after spraining his right ankle, and despite having the last two days off to heal, he hasn't made enough progress in his recovery to give it a go Friday. With Osman joining Dominick Barlow (knee), Devin Vassell (foot), Jeremy Sochan (ankle) and Keldon Johnson (foot) in street clothes, Sandro Mamukelashvili could have a clear path to heavy minutes as a starter in the frontcourt alongside Victor Wembanyama.
