Hall of Famer David Robinson to serve as Spurs’ lottery representative
Hall of Famer and San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson will represent the organization at the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois, the team announced.
The Spurs enter the lottery slotted ninth after finishing this season with a 34-48 record. They have a 4.5% chance of winning the No. 1 pick and a 20.3% of jumping up into the top four. They own the highest odds of earning the ninth pick (50.7%).
San Antonio has two additional first-round selections, picks No. 20 and 25, respectively. They also have the 38th pick in the second round from the Los Angeles Lakers after trading their pick (No. 39) in 2016.

San Antonio is in the lottery for just the sixth time, including each of the last three years. They selected Josh Primo last year with the 12th pick and Devin Vassell in 2019 at No. 11. Coincidentally, the first time the Spurs were ever in the lottery, they took Robinson with the top pick.
The draft lottery is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. EDT on ESPN.
