Followers showed their sense of history. And corrected me re Moses Brown. Missed only one Stanner. UNC backcourt great Tom Kearns started for undefeated ‘57 ncaa champs. Played one game for Philly/college coach Frank McGuire. Made his lone shot. – 10:19 PM

Asked Taylor Jenkins about how Ja Morant impacts Grizzlies on defense. I expect Clippers to put Morant in as many actions as possible
Also asked about Grizzlies team defense: 2nd in fewest points allowed in paint, 5th in opp. TO%. But only Spurs allow more 3s
Pressure points… pic.twitter.com/ccUxFWnWKs – 10:11 PM

FINAL: Kings 117, Hawks 110.
The Hawks have lost nine games this season where they had a double-digit lead. That’s the second-most behind the Spurs. – 9:50 PM

In an effort to prevent more strain on his thrice-rolled right ankle, Spurs docs have Victor Wembanyama on a no back-to-backs policy.
A quick story from Portland, where Wemby will sit tonight:

Pop says it is “mandated” that Victor Wembanyama be on a minutes restriction and not play in back-to-backs for “a couple weeks.”
At that point, Wemby will get another MRI on his ankle and the medical staff will determine if there should be changes to the protocol. – 8:38 PM

Pop says Victor Wembanyama will have a minutes restriction and won’t play back-to-backs “for a couple of weeks” until another set of imaging is done on his ankle.
Said Wemby wants to play – and he likes that he fights them on wanting to play. Called him a competitor. – 8:37 PM

The Spurs made plenty of history in 2023, from the Alamodome to Austin to their new facility to the Hall of Fame.
And yes, the losing was historic too. But so is Victor Wembanyama.
These were the most memorable moments in a pivotal year for San Antonio:

Kemba Walker’s rookie stats: 12/3/4/36.6%FG
Scoot Henderson’s current stats: 12/3/4/36.7%FG
My point is not that they’re similar players, I just want it remembered that Kemba went on to be an All-Star. Scoot will too. And his rookie no’s will improve from here. He’s trending up. – 5:59 PM

“I just wanted people to know I was the third pick and I’m here.”
Chauncey Billups was once a No. 3 pick eager to prove his worth against No. 1.
He relived that moment — and got a glimpse of the future — in Scoot vs. Wemby Round 1

Spurs say they’ve waived Two-Way player Charles Bediako.
No corresponding move announced yet, but this is a team in need of big man depth. – 4:07 PM
