For much of the day, there was great anticipation leading up to tonight’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. Fresh out of the All-Star break, the San Antonio Spurs were healthy again (outside of Devin Vassell, who is still conditioning after recovering from COVID-19) and ready to take on a whale of a second half schedule to make a push for the playoffs.
Then, within an hour before tip-off, news dropped that the Spurs and LaMarcus Aldridge have mutually agreed to part ways, whether it’s via trade or otherwise, and that he is no longer with the team.
