Proper now, Hurricane Milton is bearing down on Florida, and the minds of the Magic gamers are most likely on the destiny of their state because the storm devastates the west coast of the state and strikes eastward over Orlando in direction of the Atlantic. Possibly they’ll wish to spend some additional time in San Antonio and check out the breakfast tacos as the world recovers.
The Spurs will solely play 5 preseason video games this 12 months, and most groups would most likely wish to give the anticipated starters a while to play collectively and shake off the rust. However that’s not how Pop performs the sport, so I’d anticipate to see quite a lot of lineups tonight that might by no means sniff the courtroom in a daily season sport. It will be good to see Chris Paul make his debut in a Spurs jersey tonight, and that’s prone to occur, if just for a restricted variety of minutes. After Victor Wembanyama’s large summer season of Olympic basketball, he’s most likely already able to play, however the followers can be fairly excited to see the tall Frenchman take the courtroom, even when it’s just for a couple of minutes.
We’re certain to see quite a lot of minutes from Julian Champagnie, who performed properly within the opener, and extra minutes from Harrison Barnes and a slimmed-down Keldon Johnson. We should always see quite a lot of time late within the sport for Riley Minix and Malachi Flynn, who appear to be combating for the third and final two-way spot on the roster. There are solely three extra preseason video games left, so the gamers on the finish of the coaching camp roster are going to should benefit from their minutes to enhance their probabilities of being picked up by an NBA workforce, most definitely not the Spurs, whose roster seems to be set for essentially the most half.
* Preseason basketball
Sport Prediction:
Riley Minix and Malachi Flynn will each shoot 100% from past the arc tonight, simply to make Brian Wright’s job tougher.
One closing phrase:
Go Spurs GOOOOOO!!
