SAN ANTONIO -- Veteran guard Manu Ginobili expects the San Antonio Spurs to start off slower than normal this season with starting point guard Tony Parker and star forward Kawhi Leonard missing important cohesion time in the preseason while recovering from injuries.
"We are not going to start full throttle," Ginobili said. "We're not going to start as ready to compete as in previous years. But we'll figure it out."
San Antonio is coming off back-to-back seasons with 60 or more wins for the first time in franchise history.
