22 Rudy Gay SF

Gay (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus Oklahoma City, Evan Closky of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

The 34-year-old will enter the All-Star break having missed the last five games due to the COVID-19 protocols. Gay was able to join his teammates on the bench Tuesday, so he should be good to go when the Spurs return to play March 10 against the Mavericks.

Gay (COVID-19 protocols) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.

Gay will be sidelined for the fourth game in a row as he's still recovering from a positive COVID-19 test. The team has just one more game (Thursday) prior to the All-Star break.

Gay (COVID-19 protocols) will not be available for Monday's game against Brooklyn, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Gay will miss a third straight game as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols following a positive COVID-19 test. The hope is that Gay will be cleared for at least one of the Spurs' two remaining games (Tuesday and Thursday) before the All-Star break.

Gay (COVID-19 protocols) is out Saturday against the Pelicans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Gay will miss a second straight game due to protocols, as will Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Quinndary Weatherspoon and Derrick White. Gay's next chance to play arrives Monday against the Nets.

Gay is in the league's health and safety protocols and will not be available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Spurs play-by-play man Dan Weiss reports.

Gay, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Quinndary Weatherspoon and Derrick White are all still in the protocols, while DeMar DeRozan (personal) will also be unavailable Wednesday. The hope is that the group could be cleared to return later in the week, but for the time being San Antonio will be particularly shorthanded. As of now, the Spurs project to have nine players available Wednesday night, though that number could climb to 10 if LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) is given the green light to play.

Gay recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes Sunday in a 122-110 win at Charlotte.

Since healing from left hip tightness, Gay has scored more than 10 points four times across five games. Gay's stat line Sunday differed in that it was his first with multiple blocks and steals since Dec. 27 at New Orleans. This type of performance is rare from Gay but adds to the serviceable value he already possesses.

Gay (hip) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Gay missed Wednesday's game due to left hip flexor tightness, but he'll return to the court for Saturday's matchup. Over his last five appearances, he's averaging 8.8 points and 4.4 rebounds over 19.4 minutes per game.

Gay is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to left hip flexor tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Gay will miss his first game of the season Wednesday with what sounds like a relatively minor injury. In his absence, Trey Lyles and Devin Vassell could see extra minutes.

Gay finished with six points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 19 minutes Monday in the Spurs' 133-102 loss to the Grizzlies.

The Spurs scaled back playing time for some of their veterans due to the blowout nature of the contest, but even in more competitive games, Gay hasn't been guaranteed to crack 20 minutes lately. Since reaching double figures in scoring four games in a row between Jan. 18 and 24, Gay's offensive production has been trending downward. He's topped out at 12 points over the Spurs' subsequent four contests, shooting just 34.4 percent from the field during that span.

Gay had 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's 121-99 loss to the Warriors.

Gay logged his ninth game of the season with 10-plus points. He was short of the double-double but recorded his season high in rebounds. Wednesday's away loss to Golden State has been indicative of how Gay is performing this season. He is averaging 13.3 PPG and 6.6 RPG on the road, nearly five points and three rebounds more than at home.

Gay scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt) while adding seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 125-104 win over the Trail Blazers.

The Spurs didn't have much trouble downing a short-handed Blazers roster on the road, as Gay was one of four San Antonio players to score at least 20 points. His five made three-pointers were also a season high, but the veteran forward has only reached the 20-point mark twice in 14 games this season while scoring in single digits six times, making Gay a risky play in most formats.

Gay went for four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 18 minutes during Sunday's 96-88 loss to the Timberwolves.

Gay received less than 20 minutes for the second game in a row Sunday after playing in more than 20 minutes in each of the team's first eight contests. The 34-year-old could see a slightly increased role in the short term with DeMar DeRozan (personal) away from the team.

Gay posted 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Jazz.

Gay's struggles with his shot continued but he was still able to post a decent all-around line as he scored in double figures for the third time across four games. The 34-year-old forward is averaging 12.2 points on 39.4 percent shooting, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.3 blocks across 24.8 minutes per game so far this year. The shooting numbers may be tough to stomach, but those numbers should theoretically improve as Gay is on pace for the worst shooting season of his career.

Gay had 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals in a 98-95 loss against New Orleans on Sunday.

DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge struggled, forcing Gay to take charge on offense. He will have some games to shine with the caveat that San Antonio's team-oriented playing style could limit his fantasy value. Gay experienced such last season, with his average of 10.8 points being a career low.

Gay finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 128-106 preseason loss to Houston.

Gay has been decently serviceable for the Spurs thus far this preseason, pushing himself into the standard league discussion. The upside is minimal but if he manages to play in excess of 25 minutes per night, he could be fine to throw on the end of your bench, especially if you simply need a player who can consistently put up numbers across the board.

Gay had 19 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.

With a team-best plus-17 in 29 minutes off the bench, Gay had one of his better all-around games of the season, as he also added three steals and a block on the defensive end. He was a perfect 7-of-7 at the line on an afternoon when the Spurs hit 31 of 32 attempts as a team.

Gay supplied 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 loss to the Nuggets.

Gay chipped in across every category while producing another stellar performance from a scoring perspective. It's possible that Gay as well other veterans on the club may see a reduction in playing time if the team gets eliminated from playoff contention before the final bout. Still, until then, Gay is a decent bet to continue providing ample production off the bench.

Gay totaled 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Py, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds in 24 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to the 76ers.

Gay has been shooting the ball well and that trend continued during Monday's loss. Now a permanent fixture on the second unit, Gay appears to have embraced his new role. As age catches up with him, Gay's fantasy value is typically reliant on his ability to score. This makes him a more attractive option in points formats, though he should be rostered in most competitive leagues.

Gay scored 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt) while adding eight rebounds, an assist and a block in 26 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Kings.

With LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) not available for the restart of the season, Gay was often the closest thing to a big in coach Gregg Popovich's small-ball lineup, and the veteran forward responded with a strong performance. Gay averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 boards over the final six games prior to the season being suspended after Aldridge was originally injured, and he should remain productive as the Spurs try to maneuver their way into a playoff spot.

Gay registered 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Pacers.

Gay was sensational, pacing the team in points despite coming off the bench. With LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Gay may be relied upon to help fill the void from a scoring perspective. However, it remains to be seen how coach Gregg Popovich will balance fighting for a playoff spot and developing the team's younger players.
