The San Antonio Spurs play at home for the first time in 18 days when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday at the AT&T Center. But thanks to the continuing impact of COVID, it's up in the air which Spurs players will see the court in this matchup.
Saturday's game was supposed to be a homecoming for the Spurs after their annual Rodeo Road Trip, which this season was scheduled to include seven games over a two-and-half-week period against mostly Eastern Conference teams.
Instead, four of those contests were postponed because of positive COVID tests by a handful of the Spurs' players, with Wednesday's game in Oklahoma City the team's first since Feb.
