The San Antonio Spurs are off to a strong start this season, despite significant injuries to key players like Victor Wembanyama.

After a charge call on Luke Kornet that Mitch Johnson strongly disagreed with, Johnson yelled at the refs and gained a technical foul.

The NBA Cup has arrived in Las Vegas, with the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks set to meet in the championship game.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson went against the principles of Gregg Popovich in the team's win vs the Thunder.

How well is this team playing together? They're now 9-3 without Victor Wembanyama, and for those that want to throw dookie on the plus/minus stat, last year the Spurs only had three players on their roster with a positive flex. This year? Of the 18 guys who have stepped on the court, 14 are in the positive.

I trust in Mitch 100%,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said. “Mitch was my player development coach when I first got here, so I think me and him have an even better connection than the outside sees. But we all trust him.

While Victor Wembanyama is technically listed as probable for Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal against Oklahoma City, Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson was certainly talking on Friday as though the star big man would be playing, tweets Tom Orsborn of The San Antonio Express-News.
