Spurs' Luke Kornet: Tallies three blocks, two steals
Kornet logged four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Kornet provided the Spurs with a strong defensive presence, recording a postseason-high five combined steals and blocks. He continues to serve as the primary backup behind Victor Wembanyama, a role that typically results in limited minutes and production. Thus far in the playoffs, he has scored in double digits on three occasions, all of which came in the first three games against the Trail Blazers.

With Victor Wembanyama (concussion) not yet cleared to return, Kornet made just his second career playoff start and delivered his first double-double in 46 postseason appearances.

With Victor Wembanyama (concussion) sidelined, Kornet will get the starting nod as San Antonio looks to retake the series lead. The big man averaged 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest over 25 regular-season starts.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Nears double-double in loss
Kornet tallied 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 loss to the Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs.
Victor Wembanyama went down early in the second quarter and did not return due to a concussion, opening the door for Kornet to see increased run. The big man finished second on the Spurs in rebounds and was one of five San Antonio players to record multiple steals. He also scored in double figures for a second straight game. If Wembanyama is unable to play in Game 3 on Friday, Kornet would likely get the starting nod and see a bump in minutes.
