Popovich added the Spurs won’t carry their entire preseason roster to Sacramento, citing the logistics of playing 20 players. In general, however, Popovich indicated this could be a busier preseason than usual for veteran holdovers like Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.
“Usually we don’t give many minutes to Timmy or Tony or whoever,” Popovich said. “But this preseason, they probably need to play a little bit with David West and LaMarcus Aldridge so they know each other a little bit better than they do right now. So they might be in games a bit more than they have been in the past.”
