The 2021 Summer League hasn’t gone according to plan for San Antonio up to this point. The Spurs are now 0-5 after relinquishing a 22-point lead to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, and their shooting woes have traveled with them from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas.
Not only did they lose another close contest, 89-92, but they saw their double-digit cushion evaporate expeditiously once Devin Vassell exited the game with hamstring tightness. To make matters worse, Jaylen Morris, the only player with a hot hand, also left early with a wrist injury.
As if an unfamiliar group needed any more obstacles to overcome, rookie Josh Primo also sat this one out as a precautionary measure for an earlier calf ailment.
