Because the Feb. 5 NBA commerce deadline looms, all eyes are on Spurs Normal Supervisor Brian Wright and potential strikes to deal with the staff’s deficiencies on the 3-point line.
After a tricky stretch in January, throughout which Devin Vassell — the Silver and Black’s most constant menace from past the arc — was sidelined with a left adductor pressure, San Antonio ranks twenty first within the league in 3-point capturing proportion.
With Pelicans sharpshooter Trey Murphy III reportedly staying in New Orleans, Memphis Grizzlies ahead Jaylen Wells presents one other strong choice who can even defend the perimeter.
San Antonio’s protection can be examined towards the Magic on Sunday afternoon with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner within the frontcourt. Wagner led the Magic with 25 factors in a decent 114-112 loss to the Spurs in Orlando again in December, and his brother Moe not too long ago returned to the lineup from a torn ACL.
Subsequent up for the Spurs is one other nationally televised showdown with the defending champion Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder.
