The San Antonio Spurs are looking at Kristaps Porzingis as a potential addition following their NBA Finals defeat. Porzingis, a free agent, previously averaged 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game after being traded to the Golden State Warriors. With the Spurs looking to enhance their roster, Porzingis's skill set as a shooting big man could complement Victor Wembanyama. Reports indicate the Spurs have been interested in Porzingis before and he could provide needed depth amid concerns regarding their current backup center, Luke Kornet, who struggled in the playoffs. Any move for Porzingis will hinge on the Warriors' decisions regarding their roster this summer.
