Spurs' David Lee: Will decline player option
David Lee (knee) will decline his $2.3 million player option for the 2017-18 season and become an unrestricted free agent, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.Despite turning 34 years old, Lee was once again a solid contributor off the bench for the San Antonio Spurs during his most recent campaign, posting averages of 7.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 79 games. While he did suffer a sprained patellar tendon during the playoffs, Lee isn't in need of surgery and should be back to full strength by mid-July, so there's currently no concerns over his training camp availability. If he opts to sign elsewhere, Lee should be able to find a raise and would offer a decent veteran presence off the bench for a contending team.

Spurs' David Lee: Out for Game 4
David Lee (knee) has been ruled out for Game 4 against the Warriors on Monday, Jeff McDonald of San Antonio Express-News reports.While the results of Lee's MRI have yet to be released, the San Antonio Spurs are already ruling him out of Monday's contest. The injury doesn't appear to be as serious as originally believed, but it will keep him out at least one game, which could end Lee's season with the Spurs on the brink of elimination. Lee's absence should create more opportunities for the likes of Davis Bertans and Dewayne Dedmon off the bench in the frontcourt.

Spurs' David Lee: Returns to reserve role Wednesday
David Lee will return to a reserve role for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Rockets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.Lee has replaced Dewayne Dedmon in the starting lineup since Game 4 of the first round, but will be replaced in favor of Pau Gasol Wednesday. He played 28.5 minutes in his four starts, but figures to see that decrease as a result of his return to the bench. It is unclear who will see the majority of the backup minutes in the frontcourt between Dedmon, who has seen his role reduced since the playoffs began, and Lee. The situation will need to be monitored going forward.

Spurs' David Lee: Starting in place of Dedmon
David Lee will start Game 4 against Memphis on Saturday, Mike Wright of ESPN reports.The San Antonio Spurs will be without Dewayne Dedmon due to illness on Saturday, so Lee will move into the lineup up front alongside LaMarcus Aldridge, and both he and fellow-veteran Pau Gasol should see slight increases in minutes. Through the first three games of the series, Dedmon had played 18, 10 and 10 minutes, respectively, so his absence won't necessarily be a major blow to the Spurs' rotation.

Spurs' David Lee: Shines with key regulars out of action
David Lee supplied 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes in a 102-89 win over the Mavericks on Friday.Lee enjoyed a more focal role in the San Antonio Spurs attack with coach Gregg Popovich resting several of the team's top contributors, rolling off his seventh double-double of the season while hitting five assists for the second game in a row. With the Spurs locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, it's expected that the likes of LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard and Pau Gasol will sit out or see more limited playing time in the final three games, which should allow Lee to easily surpass his season-long averages of 7.4 points, 5.7 boards and 1.6 assists in 18.7 minutes during each of those contests.
