Spurs' Lindy Waters: Draws start in win
Rotowire
Waters finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes of Monday's 119-88 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
With the Spurs missing several key players, both Waters and Justin Champagnie drew rare starts for this exhibition. Waters, who is on a one-year minimum deal, is expected to be on the outside looking in for the rotation on Opening Night, though that could change depending on player availability.

Spurs' Lindy Waters: Connects with San Antonio
Rotowire
Waters agreed to a one-year contract with the Spurs on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
A 36.6 percent shooter from three-point range over parts of four seasons in the league, Waters will provide the Spurs with a perimeter threat on the wing. The 27-year-old is unlikely to be regularly featured in the rotation, however, with most of his opportunities to play extended minutes expected to come when the Spurs are without multiple key guards and forwards.
Pistons' Lindy Waters: Drains six threes in season finale
Rotowire
Waters closed Sunday's 140-133 overtime loss to Milwaukee with 18 points (6-16 FG, 6-16 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes off the bench.
There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, so Waters saw his biggest workload yet in a Detroit jersey and had his best performance from beyond the arc since the 2022-23 campaign. The fourth-year forward had been a healthy scratch in each of the Pistons' prior four games, so he's unlikely to have a meaningful role when the team begins its playoff run Saturday against the Knicks.

Pistons' Lindy Waters: Fails to score Saturday
Rotowire
Waters supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over four minutes during Saturday's 115-94 victory over the Nets.
Waters barely touched the floor again Saturday, continuing to struggle when it comes to playing meaningful minutes for his new team. After being traded from the Warriors, Waters has appeared in just five games, all of which have been garbage time. At this stage, his path to minutes is littered with obstacles, making him a non-factor for a team with playoff aspirations.

Pistons' Lindy Waters: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Waters (trade pending) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.
Waters was traded from the Warriors to the Pistons earlier this week. The deal is still being finalized, so he may not be able to make his debut Sunday. He is expected to compete for depth minutes in Detroit's forward rotation when available.
Waters (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers.
The Pistons acquired the 27-year-old swingman as part of the deal that sent Jimmy Butler (not injury related) to Golden State on Wednesday. Waters' next chance to make his Pistons debut will come Sunday against the Hornets.
The Warriors traded Waters to the Pistons on Wednesday as part of a trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Golden State and Andrew Wiggins to Miami, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Waters appeared in 38 games for Golden State this season and made nine starts, averaging 5.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. However, he'll spend the closing months of the 2024-25 season with the Pistons, where he'll likely compete with KJ Martin (recently traded), Ron Holland and Simone Fontecchio for minutes off the bench.

Rotowire
Waters (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Waters was one of several players who were questionable for the Warriors ahead of this matchup, but in the end, he'll be available and should see steady minutes off the bench. Waters is averaging 7.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game in 10 outings this month.

Warriors' Lindy Waters: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Waters (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Waters, who is dealing with a left shoulder strain, could be trending toward missing his ninth game of the season for the Warriors. If Waters can't play against Chicago, Andrew Wiggins, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton might have to shoulder more of the load at small forward.
