San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop will play with the second unit Thursday in the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Bates-Diop has been starting lately for San Antonio, but that will change Thursday night. Doug McDermott is making his long-awaited return to the court following a knee-related absence. The veteran is also starting, so Bates-Diop will revert to a bench role.
In 15 games this season, Bates-Diop has averaged 3.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 9.0 FanDuel points.
