Ten days ago the San Antonio Spurs cruised to victory against the Charlotte Hornets, all was looking good, the Spurs were on a win streak, top 6 seed in the West and for the first time this season had all their players available — besides LaMarcus Aldridge. But over the last week and a half they skipped four games due to Covid hitting the Spurs with four players reported to have contracted the virus; two starters and two key bench players.
Going into tonight’s game the Spurs were without, Keldon Johnson, Derrick White, Rudy Gay, Devin Vassell and SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL STAR DeMar DeRozan who was out for very understandable personal reasons.
