22 Rudy Gay SF

Gay is expected to sign a two-year, $32 million contract to return to the Spurs when free agency opens Sunday evening, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

While deals are not yet official, signings are beginning to trickle out, and it appears as though Gay will stay put on a deal that pays him an average of $16 million each of the next two seasons. The 32-year-old has bounced back well from a torn Achilles in San Antonio, and he's coming off of a year in which he averaged 13.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting a career-best 40.2 percent from three.

Gay amassed 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 90-86 loss to the Nuggets.

Gay did all he could to help the Spurs in their Game 7 matchup with the Nuggets, however, it wasn't enough and the Spurs have now been eliminated from the post-season. Gay kept the Spurs in touch early, at one point scoring 11 consecutive points in the first quarter. All things considered, Gay put together a nice season in both reality and fantasy. He suffered through a couple of minor injuries but was generally healthy and relatively consistent over the course of the season.

Gay amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-103 victory over the Nuggets.

Gay had his best game of the playoffs thus far, ending the victory 19 points on very efficient shooting. It was just the second time he has eclipsed 50 percent across the first six games, also nailing all three of his triple tries. The series is now headed for Game 7 in Denver on Saturday. Despite coming off the bench, Gay is typically a good measuring stick for the Spurs and they will be hoping he can repeat this performance once again.

Gay totaled 11 points (2-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes in the Spurs' win over the Nuggets on Thursday.

Gay finished with a double-double in 24 minutes off the bench, producing another serviceable line for the Spurs as they take a 2-1 playoff series lead over the Nuggets. He's averaged 10.0 points, 8.7 boards and 2.0 assists through three playoff games.

Gay registered seven points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, and three assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-94 win over the Mavericks.

Gay closed the 2018-19 season with an off night offensively, but he still recorded career-high field goal and three-point shooting percentages this season. Whether he starts or comes off the bench in the playoffs, Gay remains capable of filling up a stat sheet and he's been playing the most efficient basketball of his career.

Gay totaled 18 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal over 27 minutes Friday against Washington.

Gay missed just two shots in Friday's victory and contributed on the boards and as a facilitator. The 32-year-old forward has started two of the last four contests but appears destined to come off the bench during San Antonio's playoff run. He'll get a few more chances for a tune-up before the regular season comes to a close.

Gay will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Denver, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Gay will return to a bench role after two-straight starts. In 14 reserve appearances this year, Gay's averaging 13.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.3 minutes.

Gay provided 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, and three assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-106 loss to the Kings.

Gay rejoined the starting lineup after coming off the bench for the last couple weeks. The 32-year-old veteran continues to provide consistent production in terms of scoring and rebounding, and that's unlikely to change going forward with the team still trying to climb the ranks in the Western Conference playoff race.

Gay will join the starting rotation for Sunday's game against the Kings, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

It was announced that Jakob Poeltl would make the start Sunday but it appears that Gregg Popovich and the coaching staff made a last second tweak. Over the past eight contests, Gay has averaged 12.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in just under 26 minutes per contest.

Gay supplied 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes in the Spurs' 116-110 win over the Cavaliers on Thursday.

Gay posted a second straight double-digit scoring effort and remained steady on the boards, posting his fifth consecutive game with at least eight rebounds. The veteran has enjoyed another solid month, as he's also scored in double digits in nine of 11 contests on his way to averages of 13.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 26.6 minutes over 11 games. While he continues to often shuttle between the starting five and the bench, Gay remains a viable asset across all formats during the fantasy postseason.

Gay finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Hornets.

Gay has been in and out of the starting lineup all year, but it hasn't wavered his production to this point, as his season averages of 14.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per contest seem to be right on line with his current production.

Gay will start Friday against the Rockets, Jabari Young of The Athletic reports.

Gay will get the nod over Jakob Poeltl. In 48 prior starts this season, Gay is averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 27.4 minutes.

Gay produced 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 111-105 win over the Warriors.

Gay contributed in every category except blocks. The 32-year-old forward continues to fill in wherever he is called upon, with the recent reserve role resulting in more offensive responsibility when he's on the court with the second unit.

Gay finished with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds, and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's 109-83 victory over the Knicks.

Gay made his return to action Friday, after missing two games due to illness. He played just 19 minutes in the victory but that was likely due to the game being a blowout. Gay has been incredibly consistent this season, whether starting or coming off the bench. The Spurs play again Saturday and barring any setbacks, he should be ready to roll for that one.

Gay (illness) will play Friday night against New York, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

As expected, Gay will take the court after missing the previous two matchup due to illness. He's come off the bench in four of his last five games and figures to remain in that role Friday, especially considering coach Gregg Popovich stated that Gay will "play a little bit," per Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News.

Gay (illness) is expected to play Friday against the Knicks, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Gay is getting over the flu, but all signs are pointing towards him taking the court in the Spurs' upcoming back-to-back. Confirmation of his availability should arrive closer to game day.

Gay (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Mavs, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Gay is battling the same illness that kept him out of Sunday's game against Milwaukee, and he didn't join the Spurs on the short trip to Dallas. The veteran will have a few more days to recuperate before Friday's home matchup with the Knicks.

Gay (illness) won't play Sunday against Milwaukee, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Gay was questionable because of illness, but he evidently isn't feeling well enough to take the court. Davis Bertans should be in line for more minutes with Gay out of the mix.

Gay is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bucks due to an illness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

There's hope that Gay will be feeling better by the time tipoff occurs, but that's uncertain for now. If he's ultimately ruled out, Davis Bertans could see more run.

Gay totaled 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 34 minutes in the Spurs' win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Gay drew the start in Wednesday's win and posted just his ninth double-double of the 2019 season. He's been a steady contributor thus far, but games like this aren't the norm for Gay, who hasn't posted many double-digit rebound games and is at best the fourth scoring option for the Spurs.
