Spurs' Tre Jones: Poor production in return
Jones (shoulder) played 14 minutes off the bench and contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.
Jones made his return from a six-game absence due to a left shoulder sprain and settled back in as the top backup to Chris Paul. However, Jones didn't fill all of the backup minutes at point guard when Paul was off the court, as rookie Stephon Castle also saw some playing time on the ball after recently losing his spot in the starting five. If that arrangement continues to hold, Jones could struggle to see his minutes pick up much in future contests, eliminating some of his appeal as a streaming option for assists in deeper leagues.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Solid contributions in return
Johnson (calf) totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.
Johnson had missed the Spurs' last two games with a left calf strain, but he wasn't operating on any sort of playing time restriction Thursday. He led the San Antonio bench in minutes and delivered an unusually well-rounded line, as he had been averaging 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals per contest heading into the day. Johnson could end up sticking in a 25-to-30-minute role now that he's healthy again, but it'll likely take an injury to one of San Antonio's starters for him to see enough usage to re-emerge as a must-roster player in 12-team points or category leagues.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Drawing first start of season
Vassell will start Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Vassell isn't coming off a particularly inspiring performance, as he was held to four points over 25 minutes Sunday against the T-Wolves. However, he'll draw his first start of the 2024-25 campaign, bumping Julian Champagnie to a bench role.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Available to play Thursday
Collins (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Collins will add some much-needed depth behind Victor Wembanyama at center, but he's not expected to have a big role in most fantasy formats. Collins is averaging just 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game when coming off the bench this season (20 appearances).

Spurs' Tre Jones: Downgraded to probable
Jones is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a left shoulder sprain, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Jones was listed as available earlier Thursday, but the point guard suffered a downgrade in his status. However, the probable tag suggests he's likely to suit up and see action. Jones has missed San Antonio's last six games, but he's had a minor role when healthy. Through 10 appearances, he's averaging just 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 17.5 minutes per game.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Iffy for Thursday
Collins (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Collins has missed the past two games for the Spurs, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to return, Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili will be the candidates to see increased workloads.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Posts monster line in loss
Wembanyama finished with 20 points (8-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and seven blocks across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to Minnesota.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Held scoreless in loss
Paul logged zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Timberwolves.
Paul was held without a single point for the first time this season. He's been ice-cold lately, scoring a combined 11 points in his last three outings. He's been productive elsewhere, however, averaging 9.0 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in seven December outings.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Pulls down 15 rebounds
Sochan accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Timberwolves.
Sochan pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds in the loss. He's shown some real life in December, posting averages of 13.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 26.8 minutes per game across six appearances. He has only one three-point make in that span, however.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Held to four points
Vassell accumulated four points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt) over 25 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to Minnesota.
Vassell was held to single-digit points for the second time this season, with both of those coming over the past three outings. He's still been productive in December, however, posting averages of 16.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He's doing that in just 26.7 minutes as well, so fantasy managers will be hoping his minutes trend up after the new year.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Won't play Sunday
Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Jones will miss a sixth straight game due to a left shoulder sprain. Sunday's contest was the first time the veteran guard was listed as questionable since the injury in early December, so it appears he's nearing a return to game action, despite missing yet another contest. In his absence, Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley are candidates for extra minutes.
