Spurs to start rookie Dejounte Murray in Game 3
Soobum Im / USA TODAY Sports
With their Western Conference semifinals series tied 1-1, the San Antonio Spurs will look to an unfamiliar face in Game 3, starting rookie Dejounte Murray at point guard, according to Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News.
Instead of flipping the rotation on its head with the injury of Tony Parker, Murray fits into his natural role, leaving everyone else free to play as Gregg Popovich sees fit.
Pop started the 20-year-old eight times when Parker was inactive during the regular season.
