Injuries took over the 2017-18 season, for the San Antonio Spurs, before it even started. Kawhi Leonard suffered a quad injury in the offseason that kept him out for two months. In-season ailments from Rudy Gay, Joffrey Lauvergne, Danny Green, Derrick White and others limited the team’s depth as well.
This forced players into replacement roles, such as Kyle Anderson and Bryn Forbes, who started more than a handful of games. It took away from the team’s bench. Although a 28-14 start is difficult to complain about, given everything that happened.
Well, in Monday’s game vs. the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs saw yet another player suffer an injury.
