Injuries plagued the Spurs all season, which leads to the question of whether or not old age is finally catching up with the Spurs. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili spent a lot of time in and out of the lineup due to various injuries and for the first time since the new millennium, the Spurs will fail to win a championship in one of the odd years. Is their window closing or has it closed already? Or maybe the constant injuries ruined their chemistry and they could not get things going in time for the playoffs.

Whatever the case may be, this team needs a shot of youth, but without a first round pick in this draft, it’s going to be hard for them to add a young reliable guy. It’s possible that this current roster has one or two more good runs left in them, but management has to know that their window is going to close soon and there is no evidence that says the Spurs have a plan that they’ve put in motion. It’s hard to think that they’ll have a season where they’ll struggle and come across a potential Hall of Famer like they did with Duncan, but something needs to be in the words if they don’t want to fall off.
