Spurs' David Lee: Expected to play Thursday vs. Grizzlies
Lee (foot) said he expects to suit up Thursday against the Grizzlies, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Analysis:
The Spurs held Lee out of Tuesday's win over the Timberwolves with the sore foot, but the team never planned on having the big man sidelined for long. Assuming he's able to complete Thursday's morning shootaround without issue, Lee should settle back in as the primary backup to starting power forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Lee is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 16.7 minutes per game in his three appearances since Aldridge returned to the lineup following a brief health scare.
