The San Antonio Spurs are in a unique position right now, and it’s one they share with just a handful of other NBA teams. Having participated in the Orlando Bubble but not making a deep playoff run, the Spurs hold a distinct advantage of having actually played since March and gotten some valuable experience in along the way, but they should also be completely refreshed heading into the new season despite the short offseason.
With rest and recovery time being a legit concern for teams who made deep playoff pushes that went well into September (or even October), this could prove to be an advantage for the Spurs and other middling teams, especially early on.
