Two weeks ago, the Spurs wanted people to remember who they’ve always been. After settling with former team therapist Hillary Cauthen, they acknowledge they can’t forget about who they aspire to be.

Bexar County District Court records show Cauthen dropped her suit against #Spurs. An entry dated Wednesday states she withdrew the complaint “as to defendant San Antonio Spurs LLC only.” Cauthen dropped the suit against Spurs “with prejudice,” meaning she cannot refile it. – 4:28 PM
