Sun Nov 6 2011 | 16:13 | NBPA to discuss all options on Monday call |
Matt Bonner, a member of the NBPA executive committee, said that the NBPA will discuss its next move on a Monday conference call following Saturday night's ultimatum from the owners. |
The call will likely be centered around what the players plan to do following yet another marathon negotiating session. Commissioner David Stern has already said that the owners' current offer will only be on the table until Wednesday, and it will certainly be interesting to hear what the union plans to do next considering President Derek Fisher seemed absolutely deflated following the most recent round of talks. |

Sat Apr 23 2011 | 22:35 | Bonner, Blair could see increased role |
Matt Bonner had five points and five rebounds in 22 minutes, while DeJuan Blair added just four points and one board in Saturday's loss, but both could see more minutes after Antonio McDyess suffered a shoulder injury tonight. |
Bonner will shoot some threes if he ends up in the starting lineup, while Blair could see 25 minutes in the next one, if McDyess' shoulder is separated, or will keep him out of the next game. |

Matt Bonner hit 2-of-4 shots - both 3-pointers - and all six of his free throws for 12 points and three rebounds in Sunday's loss to the Grizzlies. |

Tue Mar 22 2011 | 03:57 | Bonner goes 2-of-9 from 3-point territory |
Matt Bonner hit just 2-of-9 shots from the field (all threes) on Monday, scoring six points with five rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench. |
He started the second half when Tim Duncan, who will likely miss most of the regular season, went down with an ankle injury in the first half. Bonner has the ability to step in and provide some of the offense that Duncan leaves on the table, and while he's not near a must-add player, he's somebody to watch and possibly take a flier on if you need threes. |

Tue Mar 15 2011 | 12:45 | Bonner benched in second half |
Matt Bonner was benched for the entire second half of Monday's loss to the Heat. |
Coach Gregg Popovich was upset with Bonner for a couple defensive lapses in the first half. It's a reminder that even though the Red Rocket makes 1.7 treys per game, he isn't worth using in fantasy |

Sat Mar 5 2011 | 01:14 | Bonner scores 18 points in blowout |
Matt Bonner hit 6-of-7 shots (all threes) in Friday's blowout win over the Heat, scoring 18 points with five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench. |
Bonner's love of sandwiches is well known, but we wouldn't trade a sandwich for him in any format. He does this once every three weeks or so, and there's really nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective. |

Matt Bonner (knee) returned to action on Tuesday, scoring 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting (including two threes) with two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 14 minutes. |

Tue Feb 8 2011 | 12:15 | Bonner probable on Tuesday |
Matt Bonner (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. |
Bonner has missed 10 straight games. He'll return to take even more pressure off Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess, who are on a mission to save their legs for the playoffs. Bonner, who is averaging 1.8 treys per game on the year, will have low-end specialist value for deep leaguers once up to speed. |

Mon Jan 24 2011 | 14:05 | Matt Bonner (knee) ruled out Monday night |
Matt Bonner (knee) "worked up a sweat at shootaround," but has been ruled out of San Antonio's game on Monday night. |
The Spurs are coming off a blowout loss to the Hornets, but they still own the league's best record (37-7) and have no incentive to risk aggravating Bonner's injury. He may return vs. Utah on Wednesday. |
