Spurs guard Lonnie Walker and forward Doug McDermott have entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Wojnarowski also reports that star guard Dejounte Murray has cleared the league’s protocols.
Murray, who’s missed the team’s last three games, will begin his reconditioning to come back. No target date has been announced for his return. In 31 games this season, he’s averaged a career-high 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game, shooting 44% from the field.
Walker and McDermott have both served in vital roles for San Antonio, averaging 22.5 minutes and 24.6 minutes per game, respectively. Walker has played 30 of his 33 games off the bench, while McDermott has started in all 26 of his games this season.
The Spurs next play in Detroit on Saturday night, the team’s second contest of a seven-game road trip. San Antonio currently sits 10th in the West at 14-20.
