After the rookie season to end all rookie seasons, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama's encore is ready to begin in Dallas.
DALLAS -- The decision was a tough one. That’s how Spurs coach Gregg Popovich recalls it. Every member of the team’s front office and coaching staff gathered around some kind of conference table, debating and haranguing and pros-and-conning, each making a different, compelling case for or against. When it came time earlier this week to decide whether the Spurs wanted to keep Victor Wembanyama around past the end of the upcoming season, the call was no slam dunk.
Mavericks: How to watch the game, notable stats, player news The Spurs can start by winning more than 22 games, their total in the season both before and after Wembanyama’s arrival. The club started Wembanyama’s promising rookie season at 3-2, then lost a franchise record 18 games in a row to drop to 3-20. By New Year’s Day, the Spurs’ record stood at an unsightly 5-27. Finding a foothold earlier this season has become one of the team’s stated goals.
