5 years agoSan Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward DeMar DeRozan has officially been deemed unavailable to play in Tuesday’s contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to back spasms. The absence marks both his second in a row and second all season, as Lonnie Walker IV should again be in line to enter the starting five in DeRozan’s absence. Expect the Spurs to spread DeRozan’s shot attempts around, incrementally upping the fantasy value of numerous players. His next chance at returning to action comes Feb. 21 against Utah, getting the next 10 days to recover in hopes of closing out the season strong.--Jesse Borek
