The Spurs played their final preseason game without Victor Wembanyama and other key players, and the results were predictable.
HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets game operations crew used the occasion of the first timeout in the first quarter Thursday to remind fans at the Toyota Center of an oldie but goodie. The big screen on the scoreboard rolled film of Rockets big man Alperen Sengun and the 45-point beatdown he laid on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs last season. If Wembanyama and the Spurs are pining for revenge, it will have to wait for the regular season.
” Popovich has been most careful with Wembanyama, who from the summer of 2023 through the summer of 2024 has barely had a break. The Spurs understandably want Wembanyama fresh to begin the season. They don’t expect him to begin it in sync. “I don’t think he’ll be in a great rhythm to start the season,” Popovich said. If Wembanyama uses the early games of the regular season to work his way back into form, the Spurs are fine with that. 2.
