Malaki Branham's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had enjoyed. The 20-year-old has done well this season, even getting regular looks as a starter. He's recorded 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the role. Tre Jones and Blake Wesley figure to be more involved without Branham, although San Antonio's rotation can be very unpredictable, and you never really know what Gregg Popovich is planning.

San Antonio Spurs guard Malaki Branham (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He started and played the first seven minutes before exiting the game due to a right ankle injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, so fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. His absence will likely free up additional playing time for Blake Wesley. It also means that Keldon Johnson will likely shift back to the starting unit, assuming Branham misses time. Johnson should already be rostered in most leagues, but a move to the starting five would boost his fantasy value.
