Overview
- San Antonio beat Los Angeles 107-91 with Victor Wembanyama posting 16 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks in restricted minutes off the bench.
- Coach Mitch Johnson said the staff is sequencing Wembanyama’s stints to feel natural, with a medical cap keeping him under roughly 24 minutes.
- The Lakers were without LeBron James and Austin Reaves, while Luka Doncic had a 38-point triple-double in defeat as Keldon Johnson led the Spurs with 27.
- A night earlier, Wembanyama scored 30 in 21 minutes in a 106-105 loss at Memphis, where Cam Spencer’s late surge decided it after Wembanyama sat as a precaution.
- Several U.S. outlets, cited by AFP, reported Atlanta is sending Trae Young to Washington for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.
