San Antonio Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson is preparing for a unique Christmas Day game against the New York Knicks, where he may be animated for a Disney+ special. Despite the excitement, Johnson emphasizes treating the game like any other.

The Spurs, who haven't made the playoffs since 2019, are eager to prove themselves after being chosen for the holiday slate. Star player Victor Wembanyama is performing well, and the team is healthy, aiming for a win in this high-profile matchup.
