Victor Wembanyama, dealing with a hyperextended left knee, is also questionable and could miss his 15th game of the season, potentially impacting his awards eligibility. A Lakers win ties them for second in the West, while a Spurs victory closes the gap to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Final updates on the stars availability will be provided close to tip-off.

  • Spurs' Draft Strategy: Steinbach & Wembanyama

    01:47|
    The San Antonio Spurs, currently enjoying a fun season, could secure a high pick in the NBA Draft via a pick swap with the Atlanta Hawks. If the Hawks pick lands in the lottery, the Spurs might draft Hannes Steinbach, a German power forward from Washington. Steinbach, a nineteen-year-old seven-footer, is averaging 18.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and blocks combined, and shooting 39% from three-point range. Fans and analysts believe Steinbach would complement Victor Wembanyamas skills, forming a perfect frontcourt duo for the future. The Spurs added Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk this offseason, and Steinbach could be a mix of their best traits. Its the perfect time for the Spurs to swing for the fences in their rebuild, as Steinbach is raw but has the potential to be a home run pick. Checkout Solipillow.com
