For all your Manu Ginobili loving and San Antonio Spurs news
The trade deadline came and went, and the Spurs were one of three teams that did nothing. San Antonio’s roster remains the same. Jeremy Sochan, who was the most likely player to be moved, is still around. There were no small moves around the edges, either. The quiet deadline will likely disappoint some, but it […]
Coming off a win against the Orlando Magic, the Spurs faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the fifth time this season. Before the game, it was announced that OKC’s starting five, plus some key rotation players, would be out due to their respective injuries. Stephon Castle returned after missing Sunday’s win versus Orlando, […]
It’s an inescapable reality that it takes a bit of luck to win an NBA championship. Look at the winners from any era, and you’ll see how attrition and misfortune affected the road. The defending champions in Oklahoma City have been unlucky lately as players have gotten banged up, and it could open the door […]
The Spurs have one more home game in San Antonio before they head into the All-Star Weekend followed by their annual Rodeo Roadtrip. The Silver & Black have kept busy off the court with a series of community events. On Tuesday, Spurs Sports & Entertainment, alongside San Antonio Sports, Behind the Whistle, and local school […]
The Dallas Mavericks are still feeling the aftermath of last season’s shocking Luka Doncic trade. They came away with the #1 overall pick last season, cashing that chip in by selecting Cooper Flagg out of Duke, but at 19-31 little else has gone their way. Reviled GM Nico Harrison was relieved of his duties in […]
The San Antonio Spurs walked onto the floor at Frost Bank Center knowing the circumstances were tilted in their favor. Oklahoma City arrived shorthanded, resting much of its regular rotation and leaning heavily on its bench. What followed, however, was not a quiet night or an easy victory. Instead, the Spurs had to earn every […]
The Thunder held two-thirds of their team out of the game tonight, and their skeleton crew of Jaylin Williams and four bench players, along with three two-way players made the Spurs work for a win. Maybe it’s excusable to let your focus slip a little when you’re not facing the other team’s best players, but […]

While everyone was distracted by trade announcements, the Spurs unveiled some unfortunate news. Rookie David Jones-Garcia underwent surgery on his right ankle and will miss the remainder of the season. Jones-Garcia, who had been spending most of his time in the Austin G League affiliate, suffered the injury on Jan. 10 in an Austin Spurs […]
This came across my social media feed recently and I must admit, I got caught up in the scroll. Clickbait aside, there are some interesting trades that made quite a difference for a player or a team. Some highlights: #47- Hawks trade Rasheed Wallace to the Pistons (2004). This was an immediate impact as the […]
The Spurs are back in the win column again, just in time for a visit from the NBA’s best team (by record), fresh off of their 40th win of the season. The Spurs have had the Thunder’s number for most of the season, with a 3-1 record against them, but the Thunder finally flipped the […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo could be on the move soon. The rumors about the superstar forward being ready to find a new home have become a reality, so a divorce from the Milwaukee Bucks seems inevitable and perhaps imminent. Antetokounmpo got injured recently, which led to speculation that he wouldn’t be traded until the offseason, but reports […]
Victor Wembanyama has been named Western Conference Defensive Player of the Month for his work in January, the league announced. The raw numbers are hard to argue with. Wemby was the only Western Conference player to get 100+ rebounds, 25+, and 10+ steals, according to Spurs PR. He did it while missing two games and […]
There isn’t anything interesting or exciting about the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Orlando Magic. The Magic are a young team that seemed on the rise last season under franchise players Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, but despite adding an offensive-minded and “emotional” (more on that below) veteran in Desmond Bane to help address some […]
Right after I wrote my previous Giannis piece predicting that this saga will drag out into the summer, Shams reported that the Bucks are now listening to offers on their franchise player. I’m still not convinced that he’ll be moved before the deadline, but this might just be the jinx that’ll result in a trade. […]
Last week, it was reported that Jeremy Sochan’s camp was granted permission to talk to teams in the hopes of finding a landing spot via trade. The Knicks showed interest, valuing Sochan’s defense and tenacity. They offered a pair of French forwards Guerschon Yabusele and Pacome Dadiet in exchange for Sochan. The deal was nixed (pun […]

There’s a moment in every parent’s life when, from a place of experience, you advise your child not to do something, and they proceed to disregard you. It is, so far as I can tell, a universal experience, bypassing borders and languages, regions and classes, prejudices and ethnicities, and religions and political affiliations. In certain […]
Nothing has gone according to plan over the last 36 hours for the Spurs. First, in a game that in hindsight should have been postponed, what was supposed to be a 2:00 PM CT game in Charlotte yesterday got moved back to 11:00 AM with the hopes being the Spurs would be able to play […]
