The Spurs are coming off a dominant win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, led by young guard Devin Vassell with a 37-point outburst. Even without Wembanyama, the Spurs have enough talent to steal some wins down the stretch, especially with their new veteran backcourt.
The Spurs got off to a great start in the game as Chris Paul passed Jason Kidd on the NBA's all-time steals list and San Antonio took an 10-point lead into the second quarter.
Even as former teammates and being among the NBA’s oldest players, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul couldn’t help but jaw back and forth in their chippy exchanges Thursday night.
One of the NBA's top clutch performers, De'Aaron Fox came through to lift the San Antonio Spurs to victory in Memphis over the Grizzlies.
There have been reports that Fox will need finger surgery this summer, and if the Spurs decide to embrace the tank and fall down the stadings, shutting down their trade deadline aquistion might be their only option, lest they stay near the tenth-worst team, which all but prevents them from landing the first overall pick.
Kevin Durant had a heated moment with former teammate Chris Paul during the Suns' game against the Spurs on Thursday night.
• Fox played his first 7 1/2 seasons in Sacramento, finishing fourth on the Kings' all-time scoring chart with 11,064 points. He also ranks fourth all-time with the franchise in assists (3,146) and second in steals (731).
