Starter Spotlight: Spurs Starters Rest For Playoffs

After a 101-97 loss against the Utah Jazz Wednesday evening, their third in a row, the Spurs end their 2016-2017 regular season with a 61-21 record.

At second place in the Western Conference, the Spurs will take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the post season, a team they tied 2-2 in their regular season series.

Since they clinched the second seed, the Spurs’ starters haven’t seen too much playing time over the past few games, giving much needed in-game experience to reserve players. In their last win, a 102-91 win against the Dallas Mavericks, the only regular starter to play was Dewayne Dedmon, who played only 18 minutes and scored 10 points.
