Matt Bonner (knee) is expected to play on Saturday.

The Red Rocket missed Wednesday's game with a sore right knee, but he should be ready to fire the 3-ball when called upon Saturday.

Matt Bonner (knee) returned to practice on Thursday.

Bonner missed Wednesday's game with right knee soreness, but he's already back on the practice floor on Thursday.

Matt Bonner will not play against the Bobcats on Wednesday due to a sore right knee.

The Spurs could have used him with Tim Duncan and DeJuan Blair already ruled out. Tiago Splitter is going to be a very busy man in the paint and Boris Diaw gets to take on his former team with a nice outlook.

The Spurs got a nice lift from Matt Bonner on Saturday, as the veteran big man scored a season-high 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench.

Bonner made 7-of-8 FGs, including three 3-pointers, but Tim Duncan's precautionary absence was the catalyst for his big game and we don't expect a repeat performance. Suffice to say, he hadn't scored a single point in the Spurs' previous six games, which included two DNP-CDs.

Matt Bonner logged his first double-double on the season with 10 points and 10 boards, while adding two 3-pointers in 30 minutes on Thursday.

Bonner never cracked the 20-minute mark entering tonight's game and he's unlikely to do it again until Gregg Popovich rests his players again. DeJuan Blair played just 18 minutes and had six points and three rebounds.

Matt Bonner played through a bruised quad on Saturday, scoring three points with one rebound and two blocks in 16 minutes.

Bonner struggled to defend Derrick Favors one-on-one, understandably, but as usual he played competent team defense while his 3-point shooting drew Utah's big men out of the paint. He's healthy heading into Game 4 on Monday.

Matt Bonner (quad) is expected to play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Jazz.

Bonner has a deep thigh bruise on his right side, but it's not severe. The Red Rocket should be fine for his usual 15-19 minutes off the bench.

Matt Bonner did not play in the second half of Game 2 due to a quad injury.

Bonner took a knee to the quad from Derrick Favors and was seen in obvious pain when he went to the floor, but the severity of the injury is unknown. He should be considered day-to-day.

Matt Bonner filled in admirably for Tim Duncan (rest) on Sunday, notching 10 points, two 3-pointers, seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 27 minutes.

Bonner didn't turn the ball over, and as usual the threat of him lurking in 3-point territory helped open the court for San Antonio. He's shooting 45.9 percent from downtown this year, which is fourth-best in the NBA. Manu Ginobili is third at 46.5 percent.

Matt Bonner (back) hit four 3-pointers in his return on Friday, scoring 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting with three rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 26 minutes.

This is the first noise he has made in some time, and we're skeptical about owners' ability to figure when and if Bonner is going to be productive from night-to-night. And if the Spurs ever make it to full strength, the recent additions of Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw aren't helping matters, either.

Matt Bonner returned to action on Friday March 23.

Matt Bonner (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Bonner should be ready to go after a one-game absence. With Tiago Splitter (back) sidelined, Bonner could see more than his typical 18-22 minutes. He's averaged 5.7 points and 1.7 treys in 21.5 minutes since the All-Star break.

Matt Bonner returned to action on Thursday March 22.

Matt Bonner (back spasms) won't play on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

This is the first we've heard about Bonner having issues with his back so we're going to call it a day-to-day injury at this time. DeJuan Blair, Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan should all see an increase in minutes with Bonner out.

Matt Bonner hit four 3-point shots on Friday, scoring 14 points with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes.

Bonner has hit four or more triples in 3-of-5 games, averaging 2.8 bombs over that span. Give him a look if you're deficient in that area, but realize he can go cold at any time.

Matt Bonner hit five 3-point shots on Monday, scoring 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting with one rebound, one assist, and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench.

Bonner got hot 2-3 weeks back, hitting 15 triples in a four-game span, but since then has averaged just under 2.0 threes per game in February contests before tonight. If you're desperate for threes, give him a look in hopes you can catch him at the right time.

Matt Bonner hit five 3-point shots in Monday's win, scoring 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting (5-of-9 from deep) with three rebounds and one block in 24 minutes off the bench.

Bonner has hit 15 triples in his last four games, and is well worth a look if you need a boost in that department while he's hot. Just don't be surprised if he cools off by the time you get him in your weekly lineup.

Matt Bonner hit three 3-point shots on Friday, scoring 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting with one rebound and no other statistics in 21 minutes off the bench.

Bonner hit five treys on Wednesday and is heating up. Give him a look if you're trolling for threes, particularly in deeper formats.

Starting in place of Tim Duncan, Matt Bonner scored 16 points (including four 3-pointers) and grabbed five rebounds in 33 minutes vs. the Rockets.

Bonner will head back to the bench in San Antonio's next game, making his performance as a starter nearly irrelevant.

Matt Bonner got hot in garbage-time of Thursday's win, scoring 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting (including five threes) to go with six rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.

This may earn him a small amount of time going forward, but Gregg Popovich already knew Bonner could shoot so there's no real revelation here. Bonner belongs firmly on the waiver wire in most formats.
