SAN ANTONIO — Host Jeff Garcia and Spurs on Sports Illustrated’s Matt Guzman break down injury woes, including absences from the San Antonio Spurs‘ Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet, and how Victor Wembanyama’s heavy workload exposes depth issues in the paint. Is the team capable of sustaining success once fully healthy, or will uneven performances persist?
Key topics include the impact of missing key contributors, how Jeremy Sochan and Stephon Castle are adapting to new roles, and Mitch Johnson’s even-keeled coaching style as the young squad seeks stability.
The losses to Phoenix and Los Angeles raise questions about the Spurs’ defensive rotations and their reliance on star power.
