Welcome to the Game Thread. The San Antonio Spurs are back in the Frost Bank Center for a rare Leap Year Day game after a less than impressive Rodeo Road Trip. Tonight’s contest features the two leaders for the rookie of the year award. Chet Holmgren and a player with a unique combination of physical attributes and elite basketball skills are competing for the title. The Spurs, despite their talents, are one of the worst teams in the league, which might affect the competition.
The game is being played on this year’s extra day, which is unusual as the Spurs have only played on this calendar day four times before in the franchise’s history, five if you count the Dallas Chaparrals.
Previous leap-year day games:
- 2020: defeated Orlando 114-113
- 2012: lost to Bulls 89-96
- 2000: beat the Heat 93-69
- 1992: beat the Nuggets 115-112
- 1968: lost to Mavericks 100-101 [Dallas Chaparrals]
Game Prediction: The Spurs will not play a basketball game next year on this date.
