On Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs signed veteran center Tyler Zeller to a deal through the end of the season as a replacement for the injured LaMarcus Aldridge. It’s not likely that Zeller gets many minutes considering the team’s historical preference toward playing those who have experience within the system, but he’ll serve as a COVID-19 insurance policy for the roster.
Signing Zeller still leaves San Antonio with an open roster spot and the ability to make any multitude of moves in preparation for its return. Their two-way contracts could be converted and they can easily sign someone from the G League or limited free agent pool to vie for minutes in San Antonio’s eight games in Orlando.
