The Spurs open the game with a 15-8 lead.
McDermott has as many points as the Warriors.

Kerr on Draymond cont.: “We will re-evaluate with him just before the All-Star break. We’ll go from there. But so far so good. We are just being very cautious and very patient, understanding that it’s a delicate injury and you can’t rush this one.” – 8:35 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Kerr on Draymond: “I talked to Draymond today & he told me he’s been out on the court now the last couple of days and is feeling really good. Rick (Celebrini) is really happy with the improvement. But he’s not going to be ready to play in the next few days or anything like that.” – 8:33 PM

More Kerr on Dejounte Murray: “He makes the Spurs go. You can see it on tape. You can see when he’s doing his thing, that’s when they’re at their best. I think he’s an All-Star and I cast my ballot in that way.” – 8:01 PM
Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
Devin Vassell not making the Rising Stars game is the name that stands out to me. Pretty clear it’s a function of playing for a SAS team that not enough people are paying attention to. He’s real good. – 7:55 PM

Rising Stars roster does not include Spurs’ Devin Vassell:
Here’s what he said at shootaround about the possibility of getting selected.
“I try not to think about it. It’s one of my personal goals, but at the end of the day, I’m just trying to help the team get better.” – 7:28 PM

Regarding Kevon Looney being the Warriors’ ironman this season and playing in every game, Kerr said, “He wants to play” and when he’s healthy, he’ll do so. – 7:13 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Kerr said Draymond has been on the court last few days, and Dray and Dr. Celebrini are “really happy” with his improvement. Dray will be re-eval’ed before ASB, though Kerr indicated it’s “impossible to predict” a timeline for his return at the moment. – 7:11 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Kerr said Warriors would re-evaluate Draymond in two weeks. That means he’ll miss at least 7 more games. – 7:07 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Ambassador Andrew Young on the international flavor of the championship era Spurs: “You had a tall, skinny boy from the islands, and a short pretty boy from Paris, and then you had a wild man from Argentina. You have always had a team that looks like God’s world.” – 7:05 PM
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Steve Kerr on Dejounte Murray’s All-Star chances: “I voted for him.” – 7:04 PM

NBA L2M report rules a correct no-call on Seth Curry’s end of regulation attempt on Monday: “As Curry drifts away from the basket, momentum carries him backwards towards Jackson Jr., who otherwise would avoid making contact with Curry. The marginal contact is caused by Curry.” – 5:14 PM

“I’ve been watching him almost my whole life.”
For a second-year player like Tre Jones, a Sunday start against Chris Paul was like a crash course in Point Guard 101.
