Jakob Poeltl Questionable Versus Clippers
2 years agoSan Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (knee) is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's action versus the Clippers. The Austrian double-double machine could be forced to sit out for the first time this season if he can't overcome right knee soreness prior to tip-off. Poeltl is averaging a solid 13.2 points and 9.9 rebounds for the campaign with 3.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals, so he will be a big miss in more ways than one. Charles Bassey looks set to benefit the most if Poeltl can't go Saturday. The 22-year-old has done a good job as a reserve for the Spurs, averaging 6.1 points and 6.6 rebounds with 1.6 blocks in 16.3 minutes of action, and could really fill up the box score with more minutes.
