Last Monday, the Spurs showcased 2014 Spurs NBA Champion Boris Diaw at the Frost Bank Center during their matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Victor Wembanyama may miss some time after a rib injury scare in the San Antonio Spurs 115-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Reports indicate Wembanyama’s injury isn’t serious, and he will likely suit up for the one required game he has to play to qualify for end-of-season awards.

As we near another NBA postseason, the Sixers are likely going to be one of the teams participating in the Eastern Conference half of the bracket, either being the sixth seed or via the play-in.

‘Twas the night(s) before the playoffs, when all through the Frost Bank Center;Not a creature was stirring, not even The Coyote;The banners were hung by the rafters with care;In hopes that Victor Wembanyama’s ribs healing soon would be there; “The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of Manu Ginóbili’s fractured elbow on […]

Victor initially exited the game and headed off court, but returned toward the end of the first half. His […]
For a moment, everything stopped. Inside the Frost Bank Center, the buzz of a marquee matchup, Victor Wembanyama versus Joel Embiid, gave way to silence as Wembanyama walked slowly toward the locker room, his night cut short before halftime. It should have been the turning point, but it became something else entirely. The San Antonio Spurs didn’t flinch. They […]
