At the beginning of the 2017-18 NBA season, a level of uncertainty mounted regarding Davis Bertans’ role with the San Antonio Spurs, as he hadn’t been an integral part of the rotation in the early going.
He played just four minutes on opening night, going 0-for-1 from the field and did not see any playing time for the next three games. He played 15 minutes against the Orlando Magic and struggled to shoot the ball going 2-for-7. He then played three minutes in Indiana, seven minutes in Boston, and three minutes against the Warriors.
The Spurs found themselves in a peculiar situation with Bertans as they simply did not know what to do with him up to that point in the season.
