7. San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are kind of just trying to survive without Kawhi Leonard. And, just like they’ve done time and time again, they’re doing just fine.

At 8-5 on the season, San Antonio isn’t exactly blowing teams out of the water, but they’re beating the teams that they’re supposed to beat. And, in the NBA, that is often enough. And when Gregg Popovich is your coach, that’s more than enough.

It’s not exactly known when Leonard will return, but he’s likely a few weeks away.
