Keita Bates-Diop Ruled Out For Thursday
2 years agoSan Antonio Spurs power forward Keita Bates-Diop (foot) will miss Thursday's contest against the Rockets. He is listed out with a left mid-foot sprain and is forced to take a breather in the middle of a really good spell. Bates-Diop was promoted to the starting lineup last week and he went on to have three consecutive games with double-figure scoring before getting hurt. He's been averaging 7.9 points a night for the whole season with 2.9 rebounds in 18.1 minutes. Both Doug McDermott (ankle) and Josh Richardson (ankle) appear on track to return Thursday and should pick up most of Diop's minutes.
