The Spurs aren’t done with the Thunder yet, but their fans are already eyeing up the Knicks.
After San Antonio won 118-91 to send the Western Conference finals to Game 7 against the Thunder, fans at the Front Bank Center called out Knicks star Jalen Brunson — who is still waiting to see which team his Knicks will face in the NBA Finals.
“We want Brunson!” Spurs fans chanted.
It appeared to be a direct response to a call-out by Knicks fans at the Empire State Building, who shouted “We want Wemby” for San Antonio’s star center Victor Wembanyama.
Spurs fans shouldn’t be looking too far ahead going into Saturday, as they still have to fave the defending champion Thunder in a do-or-die Game 7.
Oklahoma City is dealing with a ton of injuries as their second-best player, Jalen Williams, appears to be hobbled by a hamstring injury, while secondary ball handler Ajay Mitchell is out with a calf strain.
Mitchell looks seriously questionable to return during these playoffs, while Williams is a shell of his All-NBA self.
The Spurs aren’t without their problems either, as De’Aaron Fox has missed significant time these playoffs, and Dylan Harper sat out pieces of this series as well.
The Knicks are sitting on the outside watching this series intently as the Spurs and Thunder beat themselves up.
Mike Brown’s group only has one real injury concern, as center Mitchell Robinson broke his right pinky finger, though it is unclear when that occurred.
