Frye said that his vacation over the All-Star break is what cemented his decision to hang it up. He spent time with his family and wants to continue doing so as they grow up. Frye wanted to retire a Cavalier, with whom he was a member of the 2015/16 NBA championship team.

After shooting a combined 15-of-42 from the field in Games 3 and 4, Fox was slightly more efficient in Game 5. While the shooting wasn’t great, the good news for the Spurs was that their point guard committed just one turnover. Fox was one of many Spurs to step up and assist Victor Wembanyama, with five players finishing in double figures. The Spurs will look to close out the series with a win in Game 6 on Friday.

In the words of Carmelo Anthony, Wembanyama’s first six minutes of Game 5 were almost a “public apology” to the team after his second-quarter ejection in Game 4. The 7-foot-4 phenom was dominant in his first stint, putting up 16 points and five rebounds before heading to the bench. Wembanyama finished with his fourth double-double of the series and sixth of the postseason. Tuesday’s result puts the Spurs one win away from their first conference finals appearance since 2017, and Game 6 is on Friday.

Morey is out after six seasons in Philadelphia, two days after the 76ers were swept out of the playoffs by the New York Knicks. While the 76ers reached the postseason in five of the six seasons that Morey was calling the shots, they never advanced past the conference semifinals. This season’s run was doomed by a lack of depth, especially in the aftermath of Jared McCain being traded to the Thunder at the February deadline. According to Charania, head coach Nick Nurse will return for the 2026-27 season.

Added to the Spurs’ injury report early Tuesday afternoon, Harper is good to go for Game 5. He’ll take on his usual role as the first option off the bench for the Spurs, who are looking to take a 3-2 series lead.
