You don’t have to go very far down the list of former San Antonio Spurs to find Patty Mills when debating fan favorites. The 6-foot-2 Atlanta Hawks guard quickly won San Antonians over with his towel-waving enthusiasm from the moment he signed in March of 2012. Two seasons later, he proved an integral part in […]

The San Antonio Spurs are set to take on the New Orleans Pelicans in what should be a fun Friday night matchup. Unfortunately, it sounds like rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama is ruled out with an injury. Wembanyama is currently fighting through some hip tightness, according to NBA Correspondent Marc Stein. It will be the first […]

It may symbolize his season to this point. San Antonio Spurs point guard Jeremy Sochan played his best game of the season, maybe the best game of his very young career. And yet, a key play — a charge call drawn by Trae Young — that didn’t go the Spurs way is what ultimately sticks […]

It’s been a recurring theme for the San Antonio Spurs and it hit again on Thursday night vs. the Atlanta Hawks. The Silver and Black got out to a double digit lead only to lose it and the game. The 137-135 loss to the Hawks ties the second longest losing streak in franchise history. The […]

The first-ever showdown between the San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama and New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson might not materialize.

Flashes of greatness have been seen in Victor Wembanyama long before he got drafted into Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs system.

The latest addition was Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young who thought he could get […]

With former San Antonio Spurs All-Star Dejounte Murray back in San Antonio, ClutchPoints spoke exclusively with the 27-year-old Atlanta Hawks guard. Murray hasn’t held back in describing his time with the franchise that drafted him in 2016. While he has praised the organization, he has also been brutally honest at times about his stint with […]

There may be someone coming to steal Victor Wembanyama’s Rookie of the Year award. The No. 1 overall pick by the San Antonio Spurs has been the favorite for the 2023 ROY since he was drafted, but he may have competition from Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren, who has officially passed Wembanyama as the favorite […]

The San Antonio Spurs have been very underwhelming this season, but rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama has dominated the spotlight around the NBA. A 7’4″ big man who plays and moves like a guard out on the perimeter, Wemby is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. Recording three straight games with at least 20 points and nine rebounds, […]

A peek up at the rafters of the San Antonio Spurs home arena reveals a couple of noticeable absences. Gone are the jerseys of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. The reason, though widely assumed considering both recently entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, was officially given on Wednesday. The Spurs are holding a […]

For the first time in nearly 45 years, the San Antonio Spurs will face the Chicago Bulls more than twice in the same season.

And the San Antonio Spurs most pleasant surprise so far in the 2023-24 campaign is…. Actually, there’s no need for a drum roll. Despite all the hype and fanfare, yes, Victor Wembanyama is the Spurs most pleasant surprise this season. After all, a surprise can be defined as ‘an astonishing event’, and well, Wembanyama’s play […]

It’s morphed from a debate into a fight. Maybe not the physical type, but with tons of passion. Whether Jeremy Sochan or Tre Jones should start at point guard has become that intense among San Antonio Spurs fans. It should be noted that Jones plays 24 minutes a game. That’s four and a half less […]

The San Antonio Spurs looked like fringe playoff contenders at the start of the season. Teams were finding it hard to guard Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, and the rest of the squad. A lot of it had to do with how offensively versatile Victor Wembanyama was because of how Gregg Popovich unlocked his skill set. […]

Following the San Antonio Spurs most recent game, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic didn’t hold back on his effusive praise for Victor Wembanyama. “He’s going to change the game, 100 percent. He’s already on that path, so just enjoy and watch the show and let the guy change the game,” Jokic shared That came from […]

For the better part of a three week stretch near the start of the season, most San Antonio Spurs games fell into one of two categories. Either, they lost big or they lost a big lead. Their last three contests have taken a slightly different route. The Silver and Black lost all three, but against […]

San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins doesn’t need a reminder that he’s made just one of his last 11 attempts from 3-point territory. He might know, specifically, that he’s shooting 27 percent from beyond the arc this season. And he probably wouldn’t be surprised to hear that he’s taken more 3-pointers than two of […]

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is a freak of nature. At his size, he shouldn’t be able to do the things he’s been doing on the floor. The scary part is that he’s barely scratched the surface of his potential. Even after he was selected first overall by San Antonio in the 2023 NBA […]

The San Antonio Spurs lost to the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 132-120 on Sunday, but there were still some interesting Victor Wembanyama takeaways from the Frenchman’s first matchup with two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

For San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, rest is the last thing his team needs amid a lengthy losing skid “We don’t need any time off. We have it, we don’t need it. We want to just keep playing,” Popovich said following the Spurs’ 132-120 road loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, per […]

The San Antonio Spurs, quite simply, have been poor for the past few weeks. In fact, at the time of writing, they have not won for nearly four weeks now, suffering their 12th straight defeat on Sunday night in a 132-120 loss to the reigning champion Denver Nuggets. The Spurs’ overall putrid play has put […]

It was another glass-half-full kind of a night for the San Antonio Spurs, as they fell to the Denver Nuggets, 132-120, but saw their prized rookie once again impress. Victor Wembanyama put together a historic performance in defeat and was later showered with lofty praise by arguably the best player in the game today. “He’s […]

The San Antonio Spurs know a thing or two about outrageously good stat lines. Of the four players in NBA history who’ve recorded quadruple-doubles, two of them played for the Silver and Black. Victor Wembanyama hasn’t joined that selective class, but outings like the team’s most recent game against the Denver Nuggets suggest he may […]

When everyone thought Victor Wembanyama could no longer surprise them with what he does on the court, the San Antonio Spurs rookie would proceed against the Denver Nuggets to make history with a stat line never seen before. Even his teammate Devin Vassell couldn’t believe what the French phenom is capable of. While the Spurs […]

San Antonio Spurs starting point guard Jeremy Sochan did not play in the second half of the 132-120 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night.

San Antonio Spurs legends Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and David Robinson presented him into the Naismith Hall of Fame this summer. Had a fifth chair been set next to the podium during Gregg Popovich’s enshrinement speech, it’s not a bad assumption that it wouldn’t have been reserved for Kawhi Leonard. But Pop’s legacy […]

For a second straight game, Victor Wembanyama – not Wembanyana – and the San Antonio Spurs stayed close but couldn’t get over the hump against a Western Conference team expected to contend. A 118-112 loss at the Golden State Warriors is the Spurs 11th straight loss, though Wemby was again solid. Wembanyama scored 22 points, […]

The San Antonio Spurs have now lost 11 straight games after bowing to the Golden State Warriors on Friday.

Here are three instant, in-depth reactions from the Warriors’ much-needed win over Victor Wembanyama and the bottom-dwelling Spurs. Moses Moody shines as spot starter Draymond […]

One of the main selling points of Victor Wembanyama is a player is his freakish dimensions that warp the hardwood. Standing at 7’4″ with an 8’0″ wingspan, the San Antonio Spurs rookie is simply one of the most skilled players the league has ever seen relative to his incredible height and length. But Golden State […]

He’s certainly not the San Antonio Spurs most high profile figure. He’s not their leading scorer, nor is he their best defensive player. In fact, even though he’s just 23 years old, no one expects him to be the team’s go-to guy in the future. But, right now, and perhaps, for this entire season, Devin […]
