Spurs guard Chris Paul’s candid take on his future amid possible retirement

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Hector Ledesma

Spurs’ Chris Paul fends off questions about his futureClutchPoints query was the fourth, maybe fifth, retirement related question thrown Paul’s way following a 125-118 victory vs. the Toronto Raptors in the season finale for both. One of them even alluded to a quote he’d put on Instagram the day before. The the 39-year-old point guard was asked if his “grass is greener where you water it” post referenced his basketball future.
Mitch Johnson’s honest admission about Gregg Popovich’s Spurs outlook

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Hector Ledesma

A Spurs assistant previously sitting behind the likes of Tim Duncan – who took on a bench role as a solid for Popovich – and Becky Hammon, Johnson was thrust into the head job ahead of the Spurs sixth game this season. “It’s been a heck of an experience,” the Seattle, Washington native said. “There’s no way to predict probably any season in this league. It’s too long, too much stuff happens, too many circumstances.
Spurs star De'Aaron Fox's bold pick-and-roll take on pairing with Victor Wembanyama

1 week ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

The San Antonio Spurs' two best players, De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama, played just a handful of games together. Literally. The Silver and Black traded for the 27-year-old guard in very early February. Two and a half weeks later Wemby went out for the season with an injury. In between, Fox and the young generational talent paired up for five games. The Spurs won two of them and lost two others by a single point.
Why Harrison Barnes ‘deserves’ what has come his way with Spurs

2 weeks ago | yardbarker.com | Hector Ledesma

The San Antonio Spurs drafted Stephon Castle in late June. They added Chris Paul in very early July. So, when they traded for Harrison Barnes several days later, it seemed a little anticlimactic. Castle was considered by many the most pro-ready prospect, and possibly the best player, period, in last summer’s draft. Paul is one of the best to ever play point guard and, even at 39 years old, still represented an immediate upgrade at a spot sorely lacking in Victor Wembanyama’s rookie season.
The words that came back to haunt Kelvin Sampson and Houston vs. Florida

2 weeks ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

In the aftermath of the NCAA Final Four National Championship Game, which will haunt Houston's basketball program seconds away from its first title, specific words that head coach Kelvin Sampson said ahead of the contest against the Florida basketball squad may have proven prophetic—and not in a way the Cougars prefer.
Why Spurs’ Stephon Castle believes he has Rookie of the Year ‘locked up’

2 weeks ago | yardbarker.com | Hector Ledesma

It’s becoming – if not, already become – an impossible argument to counter. In the Spurs latest game at the Portland Trail Blazers, Castle pulled off a couple more feats that are certainly worthy of the award. Stephon Castle finds himself in good companyBy scoring 22 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists in a 120-109 loss to the Blazers, Castle enjoyed a fourth straight 15/5/5 game.
Why Rookie of the Month award is an afterthought for Spurs' Stephon Castle

3 weeks ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

Hours after Stephon Castle joined San Antonio Spurs royalty, the rookie from UConn downplayed the honor that led to such notoriety. In winning a second Western Conference Rookie of the Month, Castle became only the fourth rookie in the rich Spurs annals to accomplish the feat. But, instead of focusing on San Antonio legends Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Victor Wembanyama, Castle instead chose to zero in on Franz Wagner, Jonathan Isaac, Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic.
Stephon Castle joins Victor Wembanyama in exclusive club with second award win

3 weeks ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

As blossoming star Stephon Castle has set himself up as the inevitable winner of this season's NBA Rookie of the Year, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the San Antonio Spurs guard has captured his second Rookie of the Month award. What might be surprising, however, is the company that Castle now keeps among the greatest players in franchise history.
Spurs' honest take on finishing season without Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox

3 weeks ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

While the San Antonio Spurs have been without Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox since March 13, it's a reality that may be hitting hardest a couple of weeks later. Over the span of 11 days, the Silver and Black have seven games against some of the top teams in the NBA, all without their two best players. That a three-game winning streak stopped when this stretch started shouldn't stun anyone. Frankly, that they've lost the first four games of this gauntlet shouldn't surprise.
How Spurs guard Devin Vassell's 'rewarding' play overshadows recent misfortunes

3 weeks ago | clutchpoints.com | Hector Ledesma

In each of the team's previous two complete seasons, Devin Vassell has ranked second on the San Antonio Spurs in scoring. Two years ago, the 2020 first-round draft pick trailed only Keldon Johnson. Last season, super rookie Victor Wembanyama led the Silver and Black in that category. In every one of his four NBA seasons, the 11th overall pick of the 2020 draft increased his scoring.
