Sunday’s NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] action saw the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers contest in a close game at the AT & T Center. Any opportunity for the Spurs to go for a win in the final few seconds went away with a miscommunication between DeMar DeRozan and Derrick White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derrick-white/]. With just a few seconds of play remaining, neither of DeRozan and White were ready to receive the ball leading in the Pacers getting the ball. Just before the turnover, Spurs’ Trey Lyles might have thought he had brought the game closer when he was going for a layup. But Myles Turner rejected him with what turned out to be a match-winning block. The Spurs came close but couldn’t take their wins tally to 26 on Sunday. “It’s all about being competitive and executing, and you’ve got to do it for more of the 48 minutes than your opponent,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said after the loss as per Fox Sport. “We didn’t do anything in the second quarter to help ourselves. In the second half, we competed our (butts) off (and) did a really good job, but little things got us, execution-wise.” DEMAR DEROZAN RESTRICTED TO 10 POINTS; PATTY MILLS SCORES 24 OFF THE BENCH Playing 38 minutes on the night, DeRozan couldn’t score more than 10 points. He also contributed with seven assists and six rebounds. The top scorer for the Spurs came off the bench in the form of Patty Mills. Mills scored 24 points playing for 23 minutes while starter Trey Lyles added 20 in 37 minutes. After the loss, the Spurs’ record reads 25-34 which places them 12th in the Western Conference. They face the prospect of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1997. However, they are not completely out of contention. A series of favourable results in the remainder of the season could still see them in the playoffs,

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Spurs have had the same man coaching their team for the past two decades.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Besides coaching the Spurs team, Gregg Popovich also serves as the President of the franchise.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>History</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Spurs were initially formed in 1967 as a part of the American Basketball Association (ABA). The team?s name was coined as the Dallas Chaparrals, but they swiftly renamed as the San Antonio Spurs in 1973.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Spurs emerged as a fairly successful team in the 70s and the 80s but never made it to the NBA Finals. Hall of Famer George Gervin spearheaded the team during this era, and Gervin made nine consecutive All-Star teams from 1977-85.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The team saw an immediate rise in their success after signing David Robinson with the first pick in the 1987 NBA draft. Robinson won Rookie of the Year in 1989 and took off from there with his extraordinary two-way dominance.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, the Spurs still lacked a proper #2, and that is when they signed a young Tim Duncan in 1997. Duncan was destined for success, but little did people know that he would go on to become one of the greatest ever.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Robinson-Duncan duo was called the <em>?Twin Towers?</em> owing to their massive height and a remarkable game. A gifted Tim Duncan helped the Spurs win their maiden championship in just his second year with the team.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Spurs last won an NBA title in 2014, and Tim Duncan retired two years later. The post-Duncan era has been a rocky road for the team as they continue to fight for the place in the West.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>San Antonio Spurs arena and mascot</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Spurs play their home games at the AT&amp;T Center in San Antonio. They?ve been hosting games at this multi-purpose arena since 2002. The arena can hold close to 18,500 people during an NBA game.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Ever since Nike acquired the NBA?s uniform deal, they scrapped the home and road jerseys and brought out different editions. The team?s primary colors remain black and silver, while their city edition uniforms contain a camouflage design.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Team?s sponsors</b></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>DeMar DeRozan 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
DeMar DeRozan is the superstar small forward for the Chicago Bulls. In an era where three-point shooting has become a must in the league, DeRozan has found a way to dominate the game without having an effective jump shot, making him one of the most unique players in the league right now.

Playing for the USC Trojans in the 2008-09 season, DeRozan had a slow start to his collegiate career. But eventually the 6'7" forward gained confidence and started putting up great numbers. By the end of the season, DeRozan was one of the top performers for the teams as he <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/southern-california/2009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 13.9 points, 1.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game.

[caption id="attachment_815967" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-815967" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-06T013313Z_809955587_MT1USATODAY16897693_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PRESEASON-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-CHICAGO-BULLS-1.jpg" alt="DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Oct 5, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (11) brings the ball up court against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first half of a preseason NBA game at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Given his stats and his late step up in his only collegiate season, draft stock was high for the 20-year-old. Coming up alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and James Harden, DeRozan's draft class was stacked, to say the least.

The 20-year-old ended up becoming the 9th lottery pick and was picked up by the Toronto Raptors.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
While DeRozan was a lottery pick for the Raptors, unlike his peers, his playtime was limited. Playing off of the bench, DeRozan became a decent rotational player chipping in with averages of 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 21 minutes of playtime.

But the departure of superstar Chris Bosh was certainly the biggest game changer for DeRozan and the Raptors organisation. Losing their star, the Raptors found themselves in a rebuilding phase. With a pick like DeRozan in their hands, the franchise took the chance on the sophomore and made him a starter.

The forward's quality certainly showed up, as his statistics saw a massive jump. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/gamelog/2011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 17.2 points, 1.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, his stats nearly doubled, and the franchise knew they had a star in hand.

Over the next few years, the team brought in a second star in Kyle Lowry. Like DeRozan, Lowry started off with middling stats but eventually gained confidence and saw a jump in his numbers as well. With the duo DeRozan and Lowry about to hit their peak, the Raptors became a contender in the East yet again.

DeRozan certainly was the star man of the show, averaging more than 20? points per game for four seasons in a row and leading the team to multiple top three finishes in the regular season. But this success did not translate in the post-season.

With their championship window dwindling, the Raptors made a drastic and polarizing decision as they traded off DeRozan to the Spurs and brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kawhi-leonard/">Kawhi Leonard</a> instead.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the San Antonio Spurs</h2>
After being traded away from Toronto, DeRozan certainly wasn't impressed with a move to away from the Raptors. But an opportunity to play under the guidance of Gregg Popovich was an enticing prospect nonetheless.

Initially, DeRozan continued to put up his usual stats with the Spurs and even led them to appearances in the playoffs. But his game did change quite a lot with the Spurs, eventually.

While the mid-range continued to be his primary weapon to score the ball, his passing certainly was much better now as he had career highs in his playmaking numbers. But the Spurs were also moving to a new era and did not want to retain DeRozan in the 2021 off-season. This meant that a new destination awaited the 32-year-old.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Chicago Bulls</h2>
In the 2021 free agency, DeRozan was one of the biggest names alongside his longtime friend Kyle Lowry. Being linked to moves to contenders like Los Angeles Lakers, DeRozan even admitted that he would love to play for LA.

But with Lakers making a swing for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/">Russell Westbrook</a>, that chapter was closed. While he could have signed for a lesser role with other contenders, DeRozan knew he had a lot left in the tank and signed on with the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls who have transformed their team have been formidable so far this season. In the 11 games they played, they have simply been unstoppable winning 8 games and all of them have been in dominant fashion. With a much more balanced team around him, DeRozan has flourished and has established himself as the <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lead scorer</a> for the team.

DeMar DeRozan 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements DeMar DeRozan is the superstar small forward for the Chicago Bulls. In an era where three-point shooting has become a must in the league, DeRozan has found a way to dominate the game without having an effective jump shot, making him one of the most unique players in the league right now. Playing for the USC Trojans in the 2008-09 season, DeRozan had a slow start to his collegiate career. But eventually the 6&#8217;7&#8243; forward gained confidence and started putting up great numbers. By the end of the season, DeRozan was one of the top performers for the teams as he averaged 13.9 points, 1.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Given his stats and his late step up in his only collegiate season, draft stock was high for the 20-year-old. Coming up alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and James Harden, DeRozan&#8217;s draft class was stacked, to say the least. The 20-year-old ended up becoming the 9th lottery pick and was picked up by the Toronto Raptors. DeMar DeRozan with the Toronto Raptors While DeRozan was a lottery pick for the Raptors, unlike his peers, his playtime was limited. Playing off of the bench, DeRozan became a decent rotational player chipping in with averages of 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 21 minutes of playtime. But the departure of superstar Chris Bosh was certainly the biggest game changer for DeRozan and the Raptors organisation. Losing their star, the Raptors found themselves in a rebuilding phase. With a pick like DeRozan in their hands, the franchise took the chance on the sophomore and made him a starter. The forward&#8217;s quality certainly showed up, as his statistics saw a massive jump. Averaging 17.2 points, 1.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, his stats nearly doubled, and the franchise knew they had a star in hand. Over the next few years, the team brought in a second star in Kyle Lowry. Like DeRozan, Lowry started off with middling stats but eventually gained confidence and saw a jump in his numbers as well.
