Spurs' Cedi Osman: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
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.

Spurs' Cedi Osman: Won't return against Denver
Rotowire
Osman has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. Osman ended the contest with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes.
Osman left Tuesday's game with seven seconds remaining in the second quarter after rolling his right ankle. Sandro Mamukelashvili opened the second half with the starters and could be in line for heavy minutes moving forward if Osman's injury costs his time. Initial X-rays on Osman's ankle returned negative, but he could still be dealing with a significant enough sprain to keep him sidelined for Friday's game in New Orleans.

Spurs' Cedi Osman: Posts 18 points in start
Rotowire
Osman contributed 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 loss to the Warriors.
Osman put together his second-highest scoring total of the season in the loss. He filled in for Jeremy Sochan (ankle) and with Keldon Johnson (foot) also sidelined, Osman had extended run on the court. Osman's future with the team depends on the Spurs' plans for Johnson, who has been phased out of the starting lineup and might find himself on another roster next season.

Spurs' Cedi Osman: Posts 10 points in return
Rotowire
Osman (ankle) tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 14 minutes Sunday in the Spurs' 122-115 win over the Nets.
In his return from a four-game absence due to an ankle sprain, Osman took back his spot in the second unit, replacing Dominick Barlow as the Spurs' backup power forward. While Osman delivered an efficient shooting performance in his return, he's unlikely to see an uptick in playing time moving forward while San Antonio has all of its key contributors healthy.

Spurs' Cedi Osman: Quiet again in loss
Rotowire
Osman finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 15 minutes during Sunday's 128-109 loss to the Jazz.
Osman finished with just three points in 15 minutes, continuing his stretch of single-digit performances. He has now scored fewer than 10 points in 11 consecutive games, falling well and truly off the fantasy radar. He is barely a top-300 player this season and can be safely ignored in all but the deepest of formats.
Osman supplied 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 118-113 loss to the Wizards.
Osman was impressive Monday and delivered his best scoring performance of the campaign, marking his first double-digit scoring outing since Jan. 12. Osman has four double-digit scoring performances in January, but the nature of his role off the bench limits his upside. Through 15 appearances this month, he's averaging only 7.1 points per game, but at least he's been efficient, converting 40.9 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

With 17 points, Osman posted a new season high. This was the second game in a row in which he scored in double figures, and it was his sixth of the campaign. Osman's minutes have been trending up with Devin Vassell dealing with a groin injury, and so far, he's making the most of them.
