Welcome to our <a href="https://www.ksat.com/topic/Spurs/" target="_blank">KSAT.com Spurs newsletter</a>.

The Spurs held their annual Media Day at the team’s training facility on Monday and while there are many questions surrounding the ceiling of this current team and who will take on more of a leadership role, head coach Gregg Popovich said he’s thrilled with the makeup of the roster.

One #blessed Spurs fan got more than just attention from one of the team’s stars this weekend. Twitter user @Frankie_SVT took to Twitter Sunday afternoon to share his dilemma: the choice of whether to buy a Dejounte Murray jersey, or attend Monday night’s game. Murray told Frankie he would pay for either the jersey or tickets to the game. Naturally, the Spurs fan was more than excited by Murray’s response. Regardless of the fan's decision, Murray’s offer proved to be another reason to love the Spur.

click to enlarge Facebook / San Antonio SpursBack in January, when the Spurs and Thunder clashed in Oklahoma City, Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV led all scorers with 24 points in a 112-102 victory for San Antonio.Walker shared the offensive load with five other Spurs who scored in double figures, including Dejounte Murray who finished the night with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.Murray has been a revelation for the Spurs this season, averaging career highs in points, rebounds and assists, all while looking fully healthy for the first time in three seasons. His eight steals against the Golden State Warriors on February 8 sparked a signature win in which Murray also contributed 27 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists — and sank the game clinching jumper.As stalwart Derrick White is integrated back into head coach Gregg Popovich’s starting rotation, San Antonio’s talented backcourt continues to evolve. With Murray at the reins and Walker in the wings, the future looks bright at the guard positions for the Spurs.

click to enlarge Instagram / spursWhen the Spurs faced the Warriors earlier this season in San Francisco, basketball savant Stephen Curry put on a show, contributing a smooth 26 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists en route to a 121-99 blowout win. Point guard Dejounte Murray paced the Spurs with 22 points, in an otherwise lackluster effort for San Antonio.Following the game, Curry praised his young squad’s maturity, noting “the good teams can show it from time to time. The great teams have sustained excellence on both sides of the floor.”With an average minutes-weighted age of 26.8 years old, this season’s Spurs squad is the youngest of the Gregg Popovich era. As such, growing pains are expected as the team strives for “sustained excellence” on its home court.In the midst of maybe the best all-around season of his career, look for four-time All Star DeMar DeRozan to set the tone, especially if he can avoid early foul trouble and settle into a rhythm.

click to enlarge Instagram / @SpursLooks like the San Antonio Spurs' Dejounte Murray and Trey Lyles are among the handful of NBA players who aren't sweating a drastic pay cut from the league's coronavirus-forced shutdown. The New York Times' Marc Stein reports the NBA paychecks issued Wednesday could be the last for a while. It's unclear when, or whether, the season can be completed, and players "have not been assured future payments," he tweeted. NBA players are on a 12-month payment schedule, except for just nine players, all represented by Klutch Sports, according to Stein. The Klutch players receive 90% of their season salary by April 1, the last day most others are guaranteed to get a bank deposit.

Davis had 25 points and 11 rebounds, James added 21 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds and Los Angeles held off the San Antonio Spurs 103-96 on Sunday night.

SAN ANTONIO - The Spurs expected Dejounte Murray to make an impact this season. Monday, San Antonio made sure he'd be a fixture on the team for years to come. Two days before the start of the NBA regular season, the Spurs announced that they have signed Murray to a contract extension. Two years ago, in his last full season with the Spurs, Murray was selected to the NBA's All-Defensive Team, the youngest player in NBA history to receive that honor. San Antonio will open the 2019-2020 season Wednesday at the AT&T Center against the New York Knicks.

SAN ANTONIO - The Spurs have yet to officially win a preseason game, but just getting Dejounte Murray back on the court is a win San Antonio can live with. Murray originally earned the starting job in January 2018 over Tony Parker, starting 48 of the 81 games he played that season. So far in this year's preseason, Murray is averaging 17.3 minutes and 8.3 points per game. "I'm just trying to do what I do, getting to show that I improved and developed my offensive game," Murray said. Murray will look to continue his recovery in the Spurs' next preseason game against Russell Westbrook and the new-look Houston Rockets.

After losing their exhibition opener to Orlando on Saturday 125-89 in San Antonio, the Spurs dropped their second preseason game Tuesday night on the road against the Miami Heat, 107-89. Unlike Saturday, most of the Spurs roster was available to play in Miami. In his second start of the preseason, Dejounte Murray scored 8 points in 19 minutes of action. The Heat broke the game open in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Silver and Black 31-23 and 28-18 in each respective frame. The Spurs will return to the AT&T Center for their third preseason game against the Pelicans Sunday at 3 p.m.

The spurs opened the 2019-2020 preseason with a 125-89 loss to the Orlando Magic. The loss also featured the return of Tim Duncan to the spurs bench as an assistant coach. Murray who was slated to be a major contributor for the spurs last season, played 15 minutes and had 11 points. Spurs guard Bryn Forbes led all scorers with a game high 24 points in 23 minutes on 9 out of 13 shooting. Coupled with veterans like Demar DeRozan, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Rudy Gay; the Spurs should be contenders in the Western Conference.

SAN ANTONIO - During player introductions, Spurs fans gave point guard Dejounte Murray the loudest cheer of the night. "I was just telling my training staff, 'Thank you for everything,'" Murray said after the game. San Antonio was outscored in the third quarter 41-17 en route to a preseason-opening 125-89 loss to the Orlando Magic. Rookie Keldon Johnson saw the most playing time of the Spurs' 2019 draft class, scoring 7 points in 23 minutes of action. The Spurs will next travel to Miami for their second preseason game against the Heat on Tuesday.
