Well, it’s about time. After missing the last 10 games with a right ankle injury, Joffrey Lauvergne is reportedly available this Tuesday to play against the Dallas Mavericks. To be exact, head coach Gregg Popovich said, “I would be surprised if he wasn’t ready for Dallas.”
The 6’11” big man joined the Spurs this summer as a free agent after playing for the Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Chicago Bulls during his first two NBA seasons.
Lauvergne appears to be the next in a string of NBA big men who come to San Antonio to maximize their potential.
