The San Antonio Spurs are on the verge of advancing, holding a 3-1 lead over the Portland Trail Blazers in their playoff series. A home win today would secure their place in the conference semi-finals.

While much of the spotlight has naturally fallen on Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ overall performances have highlighted contributions across the roster. Their balance has been key to gaining control of the series.

And according to Draymond Green, one player in particular has been central to that success. The Warriors forward singled out a name that surprised many given Wembanyama’s influence.
