From even before the San Antonio Spurs drafted Stephon Castle, there was thought that perhaps the national champion with the UConn Huskies would be the player who’d perform best in the class out of the gate. Shortly after the draft, odds-makers made Castle the Rookie of the Year favorite. During the season, ClutchPoints flat-out predicted […]

The entire sports world was shocked when the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was the most surprising trade and arguably the worst deal in NBA history. At the time, Doncic was just 25 years old and fresh of leading the Mavericks to the NBA Finals. The start to his […]

The only thing better than one freakishly tall basketball player who is capable of doing things on the court that players of that size shouldn’t be able to do is two players who fit that description like Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. This upcoming NBA offseason, there is a legitimate chance that the San Antonio […]

With the Milwaukee Bucks’ elimination in the first round of the NBA Playoffs at the hands of the Indiana Pacers, speculation is running wild about Giannis Antetokounmpo and a potential trade this summer, and Bill Simmons discussed the possible fit of him with the San Antonio Spurs alongside Victor Wembanyama. “San Antonio is the high […]

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle has been named the recipient of the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy as the 2024-25 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year, the league announced on Tuesday night. As a result of receiving more votes than Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher and Memphis Grizzlies swingman Jaylen Wells for the award, Castle became […]

Two of the biggest stars in the NBA gave their two cents on social media’s newest trend. Hypotheticals are taking over the NBA, whether it be about basketball or not. Fans want to hear players’ answer to the question “Who would win in a fight? 100 men or one gorilla?” Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant […]

Most wouldn’t use the word “memorable” to describe the San Antonio Spurs’ 2024-2025 season. Most people aren’t Victor Wenbanyama. In meeting with the media for the first time since February, Wemby told ClutchPoints exactly why he described the organization’s past year that way. Given that the Spurs head into this season with recent All-Star De’Aaron […]

As the 2025 NBA Playoffs press on, San Antonio Spurs veteran Harrison Barnes believes that his teammates will be watching, and he’s hoping that they won’t like what they see. “I hope it irritates them. I hope for some of them you have to almost drag them in front of the TV to watch because […]

For most of the last two and a half seasons, Devin Vassell has served as the San Antonio Spurs second best offensive player. It stands to reason for a guy with his offensive talent who went 11th overall in the draft. That changed when the Spurs traded for De’Aaron Fox to pair alongside the generational […]

Every time the San Antonio Spurs find themselves in the midst of NBA trade talk – which has been often since the franchise drafted Victor Wembanyama two years ago – Keldon Johnson’s name gets floated as part of a move that could bolster Wemby’s supporting cast. Not sometimes. Not most of the time. Pretty much […]

While most wouldn’t call the San Antonio Spurs’ 2024-2025 season a successful one, it wasn’t an awful year either. Season-ending injuries to Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox amid Gregg Popovich’s absence for virtually the entire year qualified the expectations. Instead, team forward, Jeremy Sochan described it another way. “I think it was a tough year. […]

LeBron James commonly drew headlines recently. But it wasn’t for what he did on the court or because of the Los Angeles Lakers’ play. In not blaming young superstar Anthony Edwards’ lack of desire to become the next ‘Face of the league,’ the greatest NBA player of his generation said there’s a “weird energy” surrounding the […]

Although a blood clot ended Victor Wembanyama’s season, the San Antonio Spurs’ big man might have some hope in his recovery.

The San Antonio Spurs were rumored to be interested in Trae Young last offseason, but a deal for the point guard never came to fruition. Now, San Antonio has their point guard of the future, as they made a deal for De’Aaron Fox ahead of the NBA trade deadline. However, a trade for Young could […]

Two days before San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was taken via ambulance from a local restaurant, Victor Wembanyama and several of the team’s top players took questions during the organization’s end-of-the-year interviews. Among the topics discussed was the future of their Hall of Fame head man. “I trust the organization. I trust Pop to […]

Legendary San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, who suffered a mild stroke in the Frost Bank Center in November of 2024, left a local restaurant in an ambulance on Tuesday night, per TMZ Sports. First responders were called to tend to an elderly person who fainted. They transported the five-time NBA champion to the […]

While Chris Paul hasn’t committed to playing a 21st NBA season, he’s hinted at it. In fact, it’s fair to see he’s leaning away from retirement. So, naturally, the topic took up a good portion of the final time the future Hall of Fame guard met with the press during the 2024-25 San Antonio Spurs […]

The San Antonio Spurs may have only won 34 games in 2024-25, but they should contend for NBA championships for years to come. One move that could get them over the hump and ensure that they make the NBA Finals sooner rather than later would be a trade for Domantas Sabonis. ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel has […]

Neither Gregg Popovich nor the San Antonio Spurs have ruled out a return to the bench for the 2025-26 campaign and beyond after he missed the majority of the 2024-25 season due to a minor stroke he suffered back in November. With the Spurs season now over, Mitch Johnson, the man who replaced the Hall […]

The 2025 NBA playoffs are about to be a bloodbath. There is more polarity in the league than ever before, as a different team has won the championship in each of the last seven years. Both the Western and Eastern Conferences are stacked with talent. The Boston Celtics are looking to defend their title and […]

The San Antonio Spurs’ two best players, De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama, played just a handful of games together. Literally. The Silver and Black traded for the 27-year-old guard in very early February. Two and a half weeks later Wemby went out for the season with an injury. In between, Fox and the young generational […]

This past offseason, the San Antonio Spurs picked up Chris Paul, the 39-year-old point guard, in free agency, giving Victor Wembanyama the veteran floor general he needed to take his game to the next level. Paul was coming off a topsy-turvy stint with the Golden State Warriors in which he averaged career-lows across the board, […]

In his 20th NBA season, Chris Paul moved into second place all-time on the NBA’s assists and steals lists. In the final game of the season for the San Antonio Spurs, he reached yet another milestone. But unlike the marks he hit climbing the numbers ladders, his latest accomplishment didn’t rely on what he’d done throughout a […]

Ahead of the San Antonio Spurs’ last game of the season, Victor Wembanyama commented publicly about his season-ending injury for the first time. Right after the All-Star Game, doctors diagnosed blood clots in his right shoulder. While the 21-year-old phenom didn’t get into too many specifics, he did provide insight into his recovery and a […]

The San Antonio Spurs drafted Stephon Castle in late June. They added Chris Paul in very early July. So, when they traded for Harrison Barnes several days later, it seemed a little anticlimactic. Castle was considered by many the most pro-ready prospect, and possibly the best player, period, in last summer’s draft. Paul is one […]

Despite being officially eliminated from postseason contention, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker suited up and played in the team’s final home game of the season, a 117-98 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night at Footprint Center. The appearance held no playoff implications, but Booker explained that his decision to play was rooted […]

The Dallas Mavericks became the most criticized organization in professional sports in the aftermath of their decision to trade Luka Doncic away to the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, it was only the Lakers that was given the opportunity to acquire Doncic, with the Mavericks being hellbent on acquiring Anthony Davis in return. But at […]

With a tight race in the Western Conference for playoff seeding, every game down the stretch is magnified. The Golden State Warriors found themselves in a close game against the San Antonio Spurs that ended with a Harrison Barnes game-winning three-point shot to win the game, 114-111. That shot put a serious damper in the […]

Even though there are still games remaining on the NBA schedule, voters know who they are choosing for the Rookie of the Year award at this point. Will it be Stephon Castle, the heavy favorite, or could it be Zaccharie Risacher, the first-overall pick? What about Jaylen Wells and the season he’s put together as […]

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have been on a roll over the past two months following Jimmy Butler’s arrival, but their path to a deep playoff run remains steep.

It’s a good thing that Charles Barkley can dish it as well as we can take it from his Inside the NBA crew. Over the years, Barkley made it a tradition of playfully mocking San Antonio’s “big ol’ women.” In a satire of the viral Pop the Balloon series, they got their revenge. If Barkley’s […]

Whenever the NBA Rookie of the Year has been brought up to Stephon Castle – and it’s been mentioned often going on a couple of months now – the San Antonio Spurs standout has downplayed the award. Recently, after winning the Western Conference’s Rookie of the Month for March, Castle said it didn’t cross his […]

The college basketball national championshop game is going down on Monday night in San Antonio as Florida is going up against Houston.

The writing went on the wall when the San Antonio Spurs announced that Victor Wembanyama would not play another game for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season. A month later that writing might as well been noted in ink when the team shut down De’Aaron Fox. While both are relevant as to why the Spurs […]

While the San Antonio Spurs cross their fingers ahead of the NBA Draft Lottery  in a little more than a month, they’ll have two selections in the first round regardless barring any trades.
