The San Antonio Spurs faced a plethora of superstars as they played host to Joel Embiid, Ja Morant, and James Harden over their last four contests. And they will welcome yet another All-Star to the AT&T Center this Friday as DeMar DeRozan finally makes his long-awaited return to the 2-1-0 for the first time since joining the Chicago Bulls this summer.
A lot has transpired since PATFO parted ways with DeRozan. Bryn Forbes reunited with the Silver and Black only to land with the Nuggets courtesy of a three-team trade. Dejounte Murray has established himself as one of the brightest young guards in the NBA, and Zach Collins has started his G League reconditioning after more than a year away from basketball.
