Coming off an impressive win against the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Sunday, the Spurs looked to keep surprising the NBA with another win against a playoff contender in the Toronto Raptors. However, the injury report for the game consisted of Blake Wesley (Torn MCL), Devin Vassell (left knee soreness), Isaiah Roby (illness), and now Keldon Johnson (calf injury) all being ruled out. As a result, the Raptors literally ran the shorthanded Spurs off the court, winning by 43 points — the worst of Gregg Popovich’s career.
In the valiant effort, Keita Bates-Diop led the team in scoring with 17 points, rookie Malaki Branham dropped 13 points off the bench, and Josh Richardson returned from injury while pouring in 10 points off the bench as well.
Jeremy Sochan returned from injury and started the game with this nice put-back slam.
