Rotowire

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Out again Sunday
Rotowire
Barlow (knee) will not play Sunday against the 76ers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Barlow will miss his fourth straight game with a left knee bone bruise. The second-year player likely would have been in store for some minutes at power forward Sunday if he was available, but with Barlow in street clothes along with Jeremy Sochan (ankle) and Cedi Osman (ankle), the Spurs will presumably lean more heavily on Sandro Mamukelashvili, Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie to play alongside centers Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Out Tuesday with bone bruise
Rotowire
Barlow (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Barlow is set to miss a second straight game due to a bone bruise in his left knee. The second-year player hasn't been in the rotation for much of the season, but if he would have been available Tuesday, Barlow could have seen some minutes at power forward now that Jeremy Sochan (ankle) has been ruled out for the season.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Unavailable Sunday
Rotowire
Barlow won't be available for Sunday's game against Golden State due to left knee soreness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Barlow has been inconsistently utilized and hasn't flashed in his recent sample, averaging just 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds on 43.8 percent shooting in 9.9 minutes across his last seven appearances with San Antonio. His next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Denver.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Back to NBA
Rotowire
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Saturday.
The Austin Spurs didn't make the G League postseason, so Barlow will presumably spend the rest of the NBA regular season serving as a depth option. He's made nine appearances for San Antonio in March thus far and averaged 4.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.4 minutes per game.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Returns from G League
Rotowire
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Monday.
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Suns with an ankle issue, so Barlow could find himself in the rotation if the rookie No. 1 overall pick is unable to play.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Recalled from G League
Rotowire
San Antonio recalled Barlow from the G League's Austin Spurs on Tuesday, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
The Spurs are expected to be without Zach Collins (illness) in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, so Barlow could enter the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Victor Wembanyama. In 29 appearances in the NBA this season, Barlow holds averages of 4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.9 minutes per contest.
Barlow contributed 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 126-113 victory over the Warriors.
Barlow was fantastic in the win, scoring a season-high 19 points in 30 minutes of playing time. With Victor Wembanyama sidelined due to an ankle injury, Barlow made the most of his short-term opportunity. While this was an encouraging performance, Wembanyama is slated to return for the next game. Keeping that in mind, it's hard to trust Barlow moving forward.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Converted to standard deal
Rotowire
The Spurs converted Barlow's two-way deal into a standard NBA contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Barlow has only 23 appearances to his name with San Antonio this season, but this new contract is an indication that he remains in the organization's long-term plans. Across 51 total NBA appearances over two seasons with San Antonio, Barlow has shot 50.6 percent from the field while averaging 4.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 blocks in 14.0 minutes per game. He'll likely slot in as the Spurs' No. 3 center behind Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Barlow is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to G League Assignment, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Barlow's availability likely depends on whether or not Zach Collins (ankle, questionable) can suit up. In the last 10 games where either Victor Wembanyama or Collins has been sidelined, Barlow has received at least 10 minutes in each and has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Back to bench
Rotowire
Barlow will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
No surprises here with Victor Wembanyama back in the mix. Barlow fared well in a fill-in start Saturday against the Bulls, recording five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Solid output in first career start
Rotowire
Barlow supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 loss to the Bulls.
Barlow made his first career start and played turnover-free basketball, chipping in across the board Saturday. Victor Wembanyama was rested for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set, so Barlow still formed a fantasy-irrelevant platoon with Sandro Mamukelashvili and various small-ball lineups for the Spurs. However, the 20-year-old has a versatile skill set and is worth monitoring as he continues acclimating or if he steps into a larger role at times.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Makes impression Thursday
Rotowire
Barlow contributed six points (3-3 FG), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 15 minutes during Thursday's 125-121 loss to Milwaukee.
Barlow has played at least 13 minutes in four straight games, averaging 5.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 14.0 minutes during that stretch. With Zach Collins (ankle) sidelined, Barlow has been operating as the primary backup to Victor Wembanyama, though Sandro Mamukelashvili and Mamadi Diakite could start to see some minutes as well.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Sticks in San Antonio
Rotowire
Barlow agreed Wednesday with the Spurs on a new two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Barlow also spent the 2022-23 season under a two-way deal with San Antonio and appeared in 29 games at the NBA level, averaging 3.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per game with the Spurs. Though Barlow closed his rookie campaign as a member of the rotation, the additions of Victor Wembanyama and Cedi Osman to the frontcourt likely means that the 20-year-old won't have a path to minutes while San Antonio has all its key big men available. Barlow is instead expected to see most of his playing time in the G League in 2023-24.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Drops 19 points
Rotowire
Barlow put up 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 79-73 Summer League loss to Detroit.
Along with guys like Victor Wembanyama, Julian Champagnie and Malaki Branham, Barlow has really stood out on this Summer League roster. Barlow played with the Spurs on a two-way contract last season and is doing his part to secure at least a training camp invite.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Strong showing down low
Rotowire
Barlow totaled 24 points (10-13 FG, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 23 minutes during Monday's Summer League game against the Hornets.
Barlow did all of his damage from inside the arc, as he scored with efficiency (76.9 percent) and grabbed seven of his 11 rebounds on the defensive end. The second-year big man didn't make much of an impact during his rookie season (3.8 points, and 3.5 rebounds in 29 games), and he'll likely need to put together an impressive Summer League campaign to have a shot at carving out a meaningful bench role heading into next season.

Spurs' Dominick Barlow: Gets extra playing time Wednesday
Rotowire
Barlow played 22 minutes off the bench and finished with six points (3-5 FG), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in Wednesday's 137-128 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
The Spurs were without six players due to injury or rest in the second leg of the back-to-back set Wednesday, and those absences allowed Barlow to settle into a high-minute backup role in the frontcourt behind starters Keldon Johnson and Sandro Mamukelashvili on Wednesday. Assuming the Spurs get their usual starting power forward (Jeremy Sochan) and starting center (Zach Collins) back for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Johnson will likely move back to small forward, while Mamukelashvili should move back to the bench and serve as Collins' primary backup. Barlow could still stick in the rotation as Sochan's main backup, but his minutes ceiling will undoubtedly be lower if the Spurs get a couple key bodies back in the mix.
