The San Antonio Spurs are currently in last place in the Western Conference, and are clearly building for the future with Victory Wembanyama. There were rumors that the Spurs may try to trade for a true point guard to pair with Wemby, but the Spurs did not find a trade deadline deal that they liked. San Antonio comes into this matchup on a seven game losing streak. In their last game, they were led by Wembanyama with 21 points, and Keldon Johnson added 19 off the bench.
