For the game, DeMar DeRozan is on the injury report, but he is listed as probable, so he should be available. The six-time NBA All-Star is averaging 22.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 50.

Though the Spurs made the playoffs once in DeRozan’s tenure, falling in the first round to Denver in 2019, the multi-time All-Star became a favorite throughout the organization. When DeRozan published his memoir, “Above the Noise,” in September, he asked Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to pen the foreword.
