Spurs Maintain Patience With Luke Kornet Amid Rotation Scrutiny

The San Antonio Spurs are holding steady with backup center Luke Kornet despite early-season struggles from the second unit. While the Spurs' offense is averaging just 100.5 points per 100 possessions during Kornet's minutes, the veteran center remains effective in specific areas, averaging 2.7 screen assists in 14.6 minutes per game. Despite rookie Tarris Reed Jr. pressing for playing time, head coach Mitch Johnson is maintaining patience with Kornet behind Victor Wembanyama.
