Tom Orsborn: DeMar: “I’m just a little banged up. I always pride myself on not missing anything, a practice, a game. But when you play a lot of minutes, a lot of things accumulate you’ve got to deal with, so it was good to get a rest… A couple of days off for me will be big.” #Spurs
Tom Orsborn: Pop indicated DeMar will return Sunday: “I think so. He has a lot of bumps and bruises. He came in stiff tonight. His thigh has been hurting and his ankle. He has been playing a lot of minutes, more than most people and it seemed better to let his body recover tonight.” #Spurs
Tom Orsborn: Pop on #Spurs overcoming DeMar’s absence: “Guys stepped up and that’s always satisfying. We stuck in there. We got down nine in the second half and we kept playing. Thank heavens and NBA game is 48 minutes. Keep playing and anything can happen.”
