Jonathon Simmons: Paces bench with 14 points Saturday

Coach Gregg Popovich had handed Simmons a combined seven minutes across the
previous two contests, but leaned more heavily on the second-year swingman
Saturday with the Spurs struggling to find much offense outside of Kawhi Leonard
(22 points) and LaMarcus Aldridge (21 points). Simmons stepped up to deliver
some reliable outside shooting, and may have earned himself some more run Sunday
against the Kings. It wouldn’t be surprising if Popovich rested Leonard for the
contest, which would potentially allow Simmons to take a turn in the starting
five.
