COVID-addled Spurs back home for Pelicans

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.
