“We are still a young group, but we have smart players, young guys who want to listen and get better,” guard Josh Richarson. “Hopefully, one of these days, it really starts kicking in.

Popovich has pretty much strictly adhered to the medical staff restricting center Jakob Poeltl to 20 minutes a game after he returned from a bone bruise in his right knee that forced him to miss seven consecutive games.
