Plumlee posted averages of 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.6 minutes per contest across 20 regular-season appearances (three starts) between the Spurs and Hornets in 2025-26.

Plumlee began the season with the Hornets and saw inconsistent burn before undergoing right groin surgery in late December. The 36-year-old was traded to the Thunder and subsequently waived in February, and the veteran center later joined the Spurs on a 10-day deal before signing a rest-of-season contract with the club. Plumlee appeared in just six regular-season games for San Antonio and is now slated to enter unrestricted free agency.

Biyombo finished the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 0.9 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per contest over 25 outings (one start).

Biyombo averaged single-digit minutes for the first time in his career, providing depth in a crowded center room. The veteran big man has spent the last two seasons in San Antonio and is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Kornet recorded zero points (0-1 FG) and two rebounds in 10 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Kornet saw increased burn in Game 5, though he failed to make much of an impact. The big man appeared in 68 regular-season games (25 starts) during his first season with the Spurs, averaging 6.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 21.0 minutes per showing. The 30-year-old shot 64.3 percent from the field and has topped the 60.0 percent mark in each of the last four seasons.

Hukporti totaled one rebound, one assist and one block across two minutes during Saturday's 94-90 victory over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Hukporti saw the floor for a second consecutive contest and ended the 2026 postseason averaging 1.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per tilt across 10 appearances. The 24-year-old big man is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason after playing a limited role in his second campaign. Across 54 regular-season appearances (five starts), Hukporti averaged 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per showing.

Robinson closed Saturday's 94-90 victory over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals with two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes.

Robinson's traditional box score numbers will not jump off the page, and his offensive limitations remained a glaring issue as he finished the championship series averaging just 3.6 points while shooting an abysmal 26.7 percent from the free-throw line. However, the 28-year-old center completely changed the complexion of Game 5 with his high-motor activity on the glass, pulling down 10 boards in just 20 minutes off the bench.None were more impactful than his final offensive rebound of the season. With the Knicks holding a slim lead and just 25 seconds remaining on the clock, Josh Hart missed a crucial free throw. Robinson immediately out-muscled the San Antonio frontcourt to snatch the live ball, resetting the possession and forcing the Spurs to foul again, effectively wrapping up the title for New York. Robinson closed a gritty postseason run averaging 5.6 rebounds (3.0 offensive) and 0.6 blocks in 13.4 minutes per game across the Finals, solidifying his role as the team's ultimate dirty-work specialist.

Towns provided two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 23 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 94-90 victory over San Antonio in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Towns saved his worst for last, at least from a scoring perspective. He picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter, ultimately limiting him to just 23 minutes. Despite his offensive struggles, New York once again came from behind, securing another impressive road victory. The win sees New York land its first NBA title since 1973, and with it, a place in history. While it was certainly a rough night for Towns, he finished the postseason with averages of 15.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 2.6 combined steals and blocks.

Wembanyama finished with 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and five blocks across 38 minutes in the 94-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday.

Wembanyama had a double-double in Game 5, his 12th of the postseason. However, his efforts weren't enough to lead San Antonio to a victory and extend the series. With the Spurs falling short of a championship, the team will look forward to the 2026-27 campaign. There will likely be some changes to the roster, though the focus will be on surrounding Wembanyama with players who complement his style of play. It's scary to think just how good the 22-year-old can be moving ahead, considering he averaged a career-high 25.0 points with 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 3.1 blocks and 1.0 steals over 29.2 minutes in 64 regular-season appearances. Without question, Wembanyama will continue to be in the MVP conversation, assuming he can stay healthy.

Kornet (illness) is available for Saturday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Knicks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Kornet's status was up in the air due to an illness, but he'll ultimately shed the questionable tag and suit up for Saturday's must-win matchup. The backup big man has had a minimal impact through the first four games of the series, averaging 0.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 7.8 minutes per contest.

Kornet (illness) is questionable for Saturday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Knicks, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.

Kornet is under the weather and may be held out of Saturday's do-or-die matchup. The veteran big man's absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation, though Victor Wembanyama and Carter Bryant could pick up a few extra minutes.

Towns logged 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Towns picked up two fouls within the first minute of the game, ultimately limiting him to just 26 minutes. However, he certainly played a key role for the Knicks down the stretch, as New York recorded the biggest comeback victory in the history of the NBA Finals. Towns continues to play arguably the best basketball of his career and will aim to ride that momentum into San Antonio when the two teams meet again on Saturday.
