Here is another bad news for the Spurs, which will cost them this season.

LaMarcus Aldridge underwent arthroscopic procedure and rotator cuff debridement on his right shoulder in April and it’s announced that he will miss the remainder of the 2019-20 season.

San Antonio is 27-36; 5 games out of the 8th seed. So their chances became even slimmer.

Oh crap!
They lose their offensive and defensive player.
8th seed will be difficult to achieve now.

The NBA suspended tests for recreational drugs when the season stopped due to coronavirus, and as Charania reports it will stay that way for the rest of the year. That means the remainder of the NBA season and the playoffs will be the most stoned sporting event of all time. No debate.

Sorry JR, but I think you’re the guy everybody thinks of when it comes to playing in a NBA game while high as a kite. Hell, there’s a YouTube video called “JR Smith weed-night vs Spurs,” which features Smith throwing up countless airballs and not making a single shot in a blowout loss:

The beauty of JR, though, is that this could have been him completely sober, and that’s why he was off. It’s hard to tell the difference from him being high and not high when he would chuck up all those shots anyway.

As time passes, and more and more people seem to be coming around on the legalization of marijuana, many former NBA players have flat out said they got high before games on a regular basis

Hilarious, intriguing, and alarming.
They admitted, so they are really doing it.
It's just funny that it was JR Smith which was focused here.
