SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jeremy Sochan had 22 points and 13 rebounds for his first career double-double and the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Indiana Pacers 110-99. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed the game because of an illness. Devin Vassell scored 18 points for the Spurs in his return after being out for 25 games following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Popovich and lead assistant Brett Brown were out with non-COVID-19 illnesses. Popovich is expected to return for Saturday’s home game against Houston. Spurs assistant Mitch Johnson collected his first victory in Popovich’s absence. San Antonio has won two straight after dropping a franchise-record 16 in a row. Buddy Hield had 27 points to lead the Pacers.
