Credit: Instagram \/ @spurs<\/p>\n<p>As the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline looms, all eyes are on Spurs General Manager Brian Wright and potential moves to address the team\u2019s deficiencies at the 3-point line. <\/p>\n<p>After a tough stretch in January, during which Devin Vassell \u2014 the Silver and Black\u2019s most consistent threat from beyond the arc \u2014 was sidelined with a left adductor strain, San Antonio ranks 21st in the league in 3-point shooting percentage. <\/p>\n<p>With Pelicans sharpshooter Trey Murphy III reportedly staying in New Orleans, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaylen Wells presents another solid option who can also defend the perimeter. <\/p>\n<p>San Antonio\u2019s defense will be tested against the Magic on Sunday afternoon with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner in the frontcourt. Wagner led the Magic with 25 points in a tight 114-112 loss to the Spurs in Orlando back in December, and his brother Moe recently returned to the lineup from a torn ACL. <\/p>\n<p>Next up for the Spurs is another nationally televised showdown with the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. <\/p>\n<p>$47 and up, 3 p.m., Frost Bank Center, 1 Frost Bank Center Drive, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com, Fanduel Sports Network-Southwest.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stephon Castle takes the ball up the court.
