Latest news and updates about the Spurs
Coming off a win against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Spurs battled the Portland Trail Blazers for the last time this season. Due to injuries suffered in the last game, Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle were ruled out. As a result, Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet started in their places. After outscoring the Blazers 32-23 at […]
Social media can be a toxic place, even if you stick to sports like me. Facebook doesn’t police propaganda or fake news, and I can’t tell you how many people in the Spurs Facebook group fall for these fake posts. Twitter X is a tad bit better at rooting that stuff out, but the attitude […]
The Portland Trail Blazers dropped a tough game against a short-handed San Antonio Spurs team on Wednesday night, 112-101. The Spurs were without their MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama and budding star point guard Stephon Castle, yet still found a way to beat the highly motivated Blazers. The game was never really in doubt as the […]
I must admit that I didn’t have high hopes entering yesterday’s game. After all, both Castle and Wemby were sidelined, and the Spurs weren’t really playing for anything (the chance of them getting the first seed is now officially zero). In contrast, a Portland win tonight would have matched their record with the Clippers, giving […]
Last Monday, the Spurs showcased 2014 Spurs NBA Champion Boris Diaw at the Frost Bank Center during their matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He treated the crowd to a reenactment of his now iconic photo. On Wednesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers came to town, bringing back former players Sidy Cissoko, Blake Wesley, and head […]
The night could have easily tilted the other way for the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. No Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and a late-season game with playoff stakes quietly looming in the background. On paper, it felt like a trap. Instead, the Spurs turned it into a statement. Behind a composed offensive attack and a […]
The Portland Trail Blazers got some good news out of their trip to play the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Clippers, the team the Blazers are racing in the road to the NBA Play-In Tournament, lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That took the sting out of Portland’s 112-101 defeat at […]
The Spurs turned in a solid performance tonight without Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama. It wasn’t a perfect game, as the team survived despite turning the ball over too much and not exactly playing the most efficient offense, allowing the Blazers to cut the lead to a couple of baskets late in the fourth quarter. […]
The Portland Trail Blazers faced the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night without Victor Wembanyama on the floor and with plenty to play for in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament race. None of that ended up mattering much. Portland showed up with a tepid effort–with spurts of energy, largely directionless–on their way to a 112-101 […]

Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs have won 60 games and they could be mathematically […]
The Portland Trail Blazers travel to The Alamo City for a late-season showdown with the San Antonio Spurs tonight. For the third time this season, the Blazers will face a Wembanyama-less Spurs squad as the big man sits with a rib injury. This time, Stephon Castle will also be out. The Blazers defeated the Spurs […]
Every April, USAA honors the sacrifice and resilience of more than 1.6 million kids for Month of the Military Child. San Antonio Spurs Lil’ MVP Camp, presented by USAA, celebrates the strength, service and skills of local military kids with an on court experience. Recently, some of the campers took to the podium to participate in […]
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. However, he will likely miss the Spurs’ […]
The San Antonio Spurs will play their first playoff game in seven seasons in two weeks. The team has blown out all of their expectations on their way to home-court advantage through two rounds of the playoffs. As the season comes to an end, it seems unlikely the Spurs will catch the Oklahoma City Thunder […]
Victor Wembanyama has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers, but “there’s confidence” he will suit up for one of the Spurs’ last three games, achieving award eligibility, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Wembanyama suffered the injury when he collided with Paul George in the second quarter of the Spurs’ Monday […]
The NBA invented the 65-game limit rule to address what it perceived to be a major problem (that, fairly or not, will always get tied back to Gregg Popovich and the Spurs): load management. The idea was simple: star players were being rested in situations such as the second night of back-to-backs or late in […]
I guess it’s a useful exercise, as we tiptoe ever closer to the promised land, to take one more quick glance at the abyss. A Victor Wembanyama injury, short term, long term, chronic, you name it, is the proverbial other shoe waiting to drop. It’s not an anchor that weighs the franchise down, and it’s […]
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing defeat on Monday night to a San Antonio Spurs club that lost star Victor Wembanyama to a rib injury midway through the game. The loss moved Philadelphia out of a tie with Toronto and down into the seventh seed, which would mean an entry in the Play-In Tournament rather […]
‘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 […]
I did not like this game! I suppose there are two silver linings: First (I say this knocking on wood), it would appear that Victor Wembanyama’s injury (a bone bruise in his ribs) is unlikely to be a serious problem in the sense that he should be fine for the playoffs. Second, it gave me […]
Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama did not return for the second half of Monday night’s game between the Spurs and 76ers. Early in the second quarter, Wemby collided with Philadelphia’s Paul George at the half-court line. 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 […]

The Spurs returned home from an OT loss in Denver to close the regular season on a four-game home stand, beginning against a fully healthy Philadelphia 76ers squad. Although they lost Victor Wembanyama to a bruised rib at halftime, everyone contributed in a team effort to methodically break down the 76ers defense and make life […]
