Landale finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes Saturday in the Spurs' 133-129 loss to the Heat.
The absence of top center Jakob Poeltl (back) for the second leg of a back-to-back set created an opening in the rotation for Landale, who hadn't seen the court in any of the Spurs' last three contests. Even after San Antonio shipped out two other big men in Thaddeus Young and Drew Eubanks prior to the Feb. 10 trade deadline to reduce its crowding in the frontcourt, Landale still remains behind Poeltl and Zach Collins in the pecking order at center. With Poeltl likely to return to the lineup Monday in Memphis, Landale could himself back outside of the rotation.
