Josh Richardson, Doug McDermott Will Miss Friday’s Contest
2 years agoSan Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Josh Richardson (ankle) and small/power forward Doug McDermott (ankle) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans with respective ankle ailments. Richardson's absence will mark his fifth in a row, while McDermott has been unable to recover from the injury he sustained Wednesday. The Spurs figure to be significantly short-handed without the duo, paving the way for Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Tre Jones to all carry significantly elevated workloads, along with Isaiah Roby and Keita Bates-Diop getting added frontcourt minutes. The next chance for Richardson and McDermott to return comes Sunday vs. Phoenix.
