With Dejounte Murray gone, the Spurs will need a new closer

Gregg Popovich’s media day availability was a fun, positive appearance that understandably didn’t offer a lot of details about what’s coming. Pop mostly focused on cracking jokes about his return and highlighting how much the team will focus on development without really being too specific about what that development would look like.

There was one moment, however, that offered a glimpse into what the coaching staff will likely monitor closely. When asked about Keldon Johnson’s development, he noted some general areas of improvement but also made it a point to talk about how the Spurs will need him to be better late in games.
