The San Antonio Spurs will be without five of their six top scorers on Saturday night when they visit Chesapeake Energy Arena to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Big 3 of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili have already been ruled out as head coach Gregg Popovich allows them to rest, while Kawhi Leonard will miss his second game due to a right quad contusion.
Joining the four will be All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, as he, too, will get the night off to rest.
San Antonio is coming off a 110-104 victory over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, extending its undefeated streak at AT&T Center to 37 games, tying the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for the best home start in NBA history.
