It’s the last preseason game and happily for us it’s at home. Then the Spurs have a few days to rest up for their first season game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Tonight’s game brings us our neighbors from the north, the Oklahoma City Thunder. OKC didn’t mess around during the 2022 draft pick and were able to sign the much sought after 7 foot tall, Chet Holmgren, as the No. 2 overall draft pick. But unfortunately, in August the 22-year-old promising rookie suffered a foot injury while guarding LeBron James and had surgery a few days later. He will be out recovering and rehabbing for the entire 2022-2023 season. But Thunder fans, and NBA fans in general, will still get to enjoy watching Josh Giddy grow as a contender and see how Shai Gilgeous- Alexander leads the team. It’s been a long few rebuild years for this team and that will make them an interesting matchup for the San Antonio Spurs who are just beginning their full rebuild year.
Based on the last few pre-season games, tonight we will get to see action from our top players (Johnson, Vassell, Poeltl, McDermott, Richardson, Jones, Primo), from our rookies (Sochan, Branham and Wesley) and from our deeper bench. Coach Pop has been making sure that most of the team is getting minutes. I’m looking forward to more of that confident Spur’s ball movement of the last few games!
