NBA: Spurs Could Face “Substantial Sanctions”

By on November 30, 2012

N-B-A COMMISSIONER DAVID STERN IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS AFTER WHAT HAPPENED THURSDAY BEFORE A GAME AGAINST THE MIAMI HEAT…

 

THE SPURS PLAYED THURSDAY’S CONTEST WITHOUT STARS TIM DUNCAN, TONY PARKER, MANU GINOBILI AND DANNY GREEN… IN FACT, ALL FOUR OF THOSE PLAYERS WERE SENT HOME TO REST BY SPURS HEAD COACH GREGG POPOVICH… SAN ANTONIO WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR-GAME STRETCH PLAYED OVER FIVE DAYS, AND POPOVICH WANTED THOSE PLAYERS RESTED BEFORE A CRUCIAL EARLY-SEASON GAME AGAINST THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES.

 

THE SUBSTITUTE-LADEN SPURS STILL PLAYED A TOUGH GAME AGAINST MIAMI, BUT IN THE END COULDN’T GET THE WIN AS MIAMI WON THE CONTEST 105-100…
