Saddiq Bey is set to start against the Spurs on Friday, joining a small ball lineup alongside Jordan Poole, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, and Zion Williamson. With key players Yves Missi, Kevon Looney, and Karlo Matkovic sidelined, the team signed DeAndre Jordan, but he will not be available for this matchup. Facing Victor Wembanyama with a smaller lineup poses a challenge, but New Orleans hopes their versatility and pace can counteract the Spurs’ size advantage.
