If one good turn deserves another, is the opposite true as well? That’s the question that sits at the center of the San Antonio Spurs’ next contest against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Roughly two weeks after the then covid-depleted Spurs were on the losing end of a 119-100 whooping by the Joel Embiid and Company, they’ll get an opportunity to return the favor at home against a Sixers team that will likely be missing 3-4 of their regular contributors.
Normally this would bode well, but the Spurs have struggled against undermanned teams almost as much as they have against full-strength ones.
