Unless coach Gregg Popovich has a last second change of heart, the Spurs will carry 14 players on their roster to begin the 2010-11 season.

That means all three players with non-guaranteed contracts -- guard Garrett Temple and forwards Alonzo Gee and Bobby Simmons -- will make the team.

The NBA allows teams to carry 15 players on their roster.

Acknowledging that financial considerations were a factor, Popovich said last week that the coaching staff and player personnel department seemed most inclined to trim the roster to 13.

"I think there's a good chance we'll start the season that way (with 14)," he said Sunday.

"I'm not sure we'll stay that way, but most likely we'll start that way."
