The Spurs will not return to the court until Wednesday, Feb 24 after having a COVID outbreak in the team.
While the circumstances that caused it are obviously negative, the forced hiatus came in the middle of a lengthy road trip and provided DeMar DeRozan with an opportunity to mourn the passing of his father without missing many games. On the other hand, the Spurs had won five of their last six and were starting to gel after the return of Derrick White.
