The Spurs will not see the rest of the NBA Cup, even if Mitch Johnson’s men still had hope before facing the Suns this Tuesday evening. Kevin Durant’s teammates finally got the better of this game, helped by a questionable three-point performance from San Antonio. Difficult to win with an 8/44 at long range.
Devin Vassell, who is 4/5 at three points, was very alone against Phoenix. Victor Wembanyama failed to settle the target on his side with an ugly 1/9, proof that he must also develop his interior game to help his family. Nevertheless, and after the game, we learned a little more about the Frenchman’s health in this match.

Recovered from his knee injury, Wembanyama has not had a relapse. The Frenchman is generally doing well, although Mitch Johnson reveals he is suffering from a back problem. An injury that occurred against the Suns and which perhaps hampered him in this game. A journalist shared this message following the press conference.
