Spurs' Trey Lyles (appendicitis) ruled out for restart
San Antonio Spurs power forward Trey Lyles will not be available for the NBA's scheduled restart due to appendicitis.
What It Means:
The Spurs will be without Lyles and LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) in Orlando. Jakob Poeltl should benefit the most in San Antonio's frontcourt, but look for DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Dejounte Murray, and Patty Mills to pick up the slack on offense. Lyles' 13.7 percent usage rate is last on the Spurs among players with at least 1,000 minutes this season.
DeRozan sees a 4.4 percent usage spike when Aldridge and Lyles are off the floor this season. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Spurs are tied for the fifth-worst odds (+21000) to win the NBA Championship.
