Marco Belinelli Available Versus Nuggets
San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) is available or Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up with an ankle issue, but appears good enough to play here.

Bryn Forbes Won't Suit Up Versus Sixers
San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Marco Belinelli Remains Sidelined
San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Gregg Popovich has not given much of an update on Belinelli lately.

San Antonio Spurs center Trey Lyles had 14 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal in 32 minutes on Tuesday night versus the Dallas Mavericks.
