I’m a competitor and I haven’t watched this much basketball without being part of it, but me being able to get out there and work and progressively get better I think will help us in the long run,” Gay said on Monday at an event for Spurs fans. He will miss his 17th straight game when the Spurs host Denver Tuesday night. He has now missed the last 16 games and the Spurs have gone 8-8 in his absence. The initial diagnosis was that Gay would miss two to three weeks. Gay’s versatility off the bench and ability to play both forward positions has been missed by the Spurs. He is also averaging 5.2 rebounds per game. 28 at home against the New York Knicks, but he could be back on the court in the near future.īefore the injury, Gay was the team’s second leading scorer at 11.5 points per game. SAN ANTONIO – Kawhi Leonard’s injury has been a major loss for the Spurs for a majority of the season, but another significant injury has been that of Rudy Gay.
