The Brooklyn Nets are the center of trade speculation as this year’s deadline approaches.

They will by no means give him away for free, but considering it is widely accepted that Butler will opt out […]

The San Antonio Spurs dynasty is well in the rearview mirror, as the franchise has been rebuilding under legendary head coach Gregg Popovich as of late. Although last season saw the Spurs continue to be cellar dwellers, their play injected a glimpse of hope that the team is headed in the right direction, thanks in […]

With his third assist on Sunday evening, Chris Paul passed Jason Kidd for second in NBA career assists. It came on a pass to Victor Wembanyama for a three-pointer in the second quarter of a 121-116 San Antonio Spurs victory vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. Spurs just honored Chris Paul for climbing to #2 on […]

Chris Paul made NBA history by becoming the player with the second-most assists in league history, surpassing Jason Kidd’s total of 12,091 during the San Antonio Spurs’ 121-116 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

While there’s no doubt that Victor Wembanyama is the San Antonio Spurs’ best player, it’s perhaps just slightly less obvious that Devin Vassell ranks as their second-best. Chris Paul, who’s got the age advantage over both, has enjoyed a better career than either, and rookie Stephon Castle may have a bigger upside than Vassell. Still, […]

The San Antonio Spurs haven’t been strangers to losing over the last couple of years. But, despite back-to-back 60-loss seasons, the newly acquired Chris Paul says this team can’t get comfortable with such a reality. “You don’t want to get used to this losing stuff.” The 39-year-old point guard preceded that by spelling out a […]

For San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, playing alongside a 12-time All-Star, Chris Paul, has many benefits, as Gilbert Arenas noted recently. Spurs veteran DeMar DeRozan surpassed 24,000 career points, but for Arenas, it’s Paul who will impact Wembanyama most. In a recent episode of Gil’s Arena, the former NBA star talked about CP’s influence. […]

DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings dismantled the San Antonio Spurs in Texas, cruising to a 140-113 victory. “Being top-30 all-time in scoring and to still have the opportunity to add to that is beyond humbling,” said the Kings star forward who made history by becoming the 30th player in NBA history to reach 24,000 […]

The San Antonio Spurs had a matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, but they had to play the entire second half without backup big man Zach Collins who was ejected in the second quarter and did not hide his feelings towards the offending ref. It wasn’t quite clear what Zach Collins did to get […]

Despite their rebuilding status over the last few seasons, the San Antonio Spurs have proven to be a sneaky team early on during the 2024-25 season. Veterans Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes have helped complement a young Spurs core highlighted by Victor Wembanyama. At 11-11 on the season, San Antonio has a chance to pick […]

Tim Duncan has an incredible car collection. Duncan is one of the most iconic players to ever play in the NBA.

[…]

In missing a chance to win their group in the Emirates NBA Cup and advance to what essentially serves as the playoffs of the league’s in-season tournament, the San Antonio Spurs hit just eight of the 44 three-pointers they took in shooting 35% overall vs. the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. However, because the Silver and […]

In what may have been the San Antonio Spurs biggest game in several years, the proud franchise came up short of winning its group in the NBA Cup. Afterward, Chris Paul, who’s been in many a big game over his 20 NBA seasons, sounded like a player who realized what had just eluded his new […]

The San Antonio Spurs are looking to make a playoff run in the 2024-25 season. At 11-9,  they have played well despite roster and coaching staff hurdles.

In yet another sign that the San Antonio Spurs are vastly improving, they’re now winning games in which they didn’t play well. Normally the type of trait reserved for playoff squads, if not title contenders. Still, acting head coach Mitch Johnson didn’t like how his team started in Sunday’s victory vs. the Sacramento Kings. San […]

Had you told San Antonio Spurs management when they were looking to trade for Harrison Barnes this summer that he’d win Western Conference Player of the Week to cap the first month of the season, they might not have believed you.

[…]

The San Antonio Spurs famously – perhaps infamously – cautious approach to player injuries has carried over to superstar Victor Wembanyama. For the better part of a Rookie of the Year season, the franchise capped the number of minutes he’d play per game. Oftentimes, coach Gregg Popovich didn’t allow Wemby to suit up on the […]
