SAN ANTONIO — Before the Spurs finish their preseason tune-up against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday evening, the team will honor a fallen public servant.
A Spurs Sports and Entertainment spokesperson confirmed to KENS 5 that the team will be holding a moment of silence before the National Anthem in honor of Greg Garza, the 17-year San Antonio Fire Department veteran who died in a tragic accident Tuesday morning.
Flags throughout the city were lowered to half-staff on Tuesday out of respect for Garza and his family, and Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Fire Chief Charles Hood offered prayers and patience.
