Redemption is in order for Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray in the second to last matchup of the preseason. After spending the last year recovering from injury and retooling his skill set, the 23-year-old will get to face off against an elite backcourt pairing in Russell Westbrook and James Harden after tearing his ACL against a very different Rockets grouping in 2018.
Murray has started off modestly since returning to Gregg Popovich’s lineup, failing to rack up significant stats while shooting a poor percentage from the field. What’s been more alarming Is his lack of assertiveness on the defensive end with only one steal per contest through three games.
