Game Thread Spurs (52-18) vs Pacers (15-55) (Sat 3/21/2026) [7:00PM CDT]

Hopefully Wemby plays 20 minutes and they sit him tbh. If he sits tonight, he can only miss 2 more games with 11 games left before he loses eligibility for post-season awards.
 
Are they really going to prevent Wemby from getting DPOY, ffs.
I agree, but if indeed ankle soreness is legit, I can see Wemby wanting to be 100% ready to take on fake DPOY candidate Bam in the next game. Still, I say put him in for 20 and let him half-ass it tonight.
 
good breakdown here from David Jizzdale of the set the Spurs ran for Wemby's game winner and the adjustment that Fox made

Thanks for sharing this - great breakdown. One thing we don't talk about very often is Fox's intelligence. You can tell he is a student of the game and not just a chess piece. He knows his shit, and that rubs off on our team.
 
:st-lol: Even on my birthday I get blamed smh. This is a lingering injury for Wemby. He rolled his ankle against the Clips 5 days ago and hasn't been 100% since. With Castle they're just being extra cautious given our opponent tonight. If we were playing a better team, he'd def be playing imo.

Me thinks the Spurs saw that the Pacers are missing basically their entire team tonight and decided this might be one they can without Wemby and Castle. This would give them some extra rest before the upcoming road trip. Hopefully I'm wrong and Wemby plays regardless. Don't wanna get cute with his post-season award eligibility in case he really does need to sit for a game or two down the stretch tbh.
 
If it’s really just soreness and nothing worse then Vic should just half ass it for 20 minutes on a normal minutes distribution…none of this play the whole 3rd q bs.

Also has Vic burned all the less than 20 minute exception games? I know he’s close if he’s not burned them already
