Eighteen teams remain in the running for the NBA championship. The Spurs are not one of them. But should locals still have a rooting interest?
Guard DeMar DeRozan played for the Spurs from 2018-‘21.Most everyone who worked with DeRozan here would love to see him get his long-awaited postseason success. And if they win the play-in game on Friday, the Bulls will be assured of sending their first-round pick to San Antonio in 2025.Spurs vibes:Those 2013 and 2014 Finals seem like forever ago. And like LeBron James, many of the Miami fans who attended those games haven’t followed the team since.
Coach Doc Rivers and forward Dewayne Dedmon both played for the Spurs, to varying degrees of fame.Rivers almost replaced Popovich in 1999. Dedmon didn’t exactly leave the Spurs on the greatest terms in 2017. No hard feelings either way, though.One of San Antonio’s many late-first-round success stories, Derrick White’s raw numbers have dipped with the Celtics, but his impact hasn’t.White’s the kind of guy who could have played here forever, and would have loved doing it.
