After the San Antonio Spurs face off against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, they’ll dive headfirst into All-Star Weekend, where they will have their largest presence in years.
Victor Wembanyama was named an All-Star starter for the first time; Mitch Johnson will coach one of the U.S. teams in the All-Star Game; Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle will participate in the Rising Stars tournament; Carter Bryant is in the Dunk Contest; and Harper will join his family in the Shooting Stars challenge.
San Antonio’s core is well-represented at All-Star Weekend, but some, including Johnson, have questioned whether they were still shortchanged. The Athletic’s Law Murray caught the Spurs head coach talking about some players he thought were snubbed from the big game.
Castle and De’Aaron Fox have been critical pieces for a Spurs squad that is second in the Western Conference and owns the third-best record in the NBA. While their counting stats may not be at the same level as other All-Stars, their contribution to winning certainly is.
Do you think Johnson had a point? Was Castle or Fox snubbed from the All-Star game? Which Spur do you think will perform the best over the weekend? Vote in the poll below, and we’ll cover the results after the All-Star game!
