Spurs add Luke Kornet to injury report ahead of Game 5 vs. Knicks

The San Antonio Spurs have added center Luke Kornet to the injury report with an unspecified illness ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, scheduled for June 13. The Spurs trail the series 3-1 and must overcome a significant deficit to extend their championship hopes. Kornet's absence could impact the team's frontcourt depth, potentially leading to increased roles for Kelly Olynyk or Mason Plumlee. Other than Kornet, there have been no additional injury concerns reported for either team. Game 5 presents the Spurs with a chance to avoid elimination as they seek to become the first team in NBA Finals history to recover from a 3-1 deficit.
