4 years agoSan Antonio Spurs small/power forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been deemed questionable to return to the mix for Thursday's contest versus the Rockets due to personal reasons. Without DeRozan on the floor, Trey Lyles has drawn consecutive starts, while Lonnie Walker IV has taken on an increased offensive role, going for 25 and 24 points, respectively. Despite playing more minutes as a big this year, DeRozan is dishing out a career-best seven assists per game through his first nine contests. Should he suit up Thursday, he'd have an advantageous matchup versus a Rockets squad decimated by injuries and trades. Check back closer to tip-off to get a better read on his status.--Jesse Borek
