Kyle Anderson grabbing at his thigh as he heads to the bench, and heads back to the locker room before halftime.
KAT is out tonight and Ant already went back to the locker room. – 9:00 PM
Anthony Edwards appears to have twisted his ankle pretty badly. Needed help getting to the locker room. Wolves will need to finish the game without KAT and Ant.
Luckily for them, they are already up 58-39. – 8:57 PM
Anthony Edwards down on the ground and being helped to the locker room. Appears to be his left foot/ankle. – 8:56 PM
Anthony Edwards was down after making a cut. Gets up, can’t put a lot of pressure on his left leg, needs help coming off the floor. – 8:56 PM
Nets getting their wigs split by the Magic minus Banchero. I wonder if Schroder and Co. gonna get upset every time they score a basket with a 91-59 lead with 10 min left b/c it violates some silly code🙄 #MagicNets – 8:55 PM
Naz Reid was playing so well in the first half that Finch left him in for 12 consecutive minutes. Wolves won those minutes by 20 points.
Naz had 11 points, didn’t miss a shot and drew at least one foul on Wembanyama. Stepping up in KAT’s absence tonight. – 8:51 PM
The Spurs have trailed by 15 points in 63% of their games this season.
SA enters 2-34 when down by 15 points – 8:50 PM
Jordan McLaughlin stays hot from behind the arc. 2 straight 3s. – 8:50 PM
Kyle Anderson has picked Wemby’s pocket on consecutive possessions – 8:49 PM
I’m prepared to say the Spurs’ biggest issue is a dearth of shooting. Which in 2024, it a pretty insurmountable dearth. – 8:45 PM
Terrific minutes for Naz Reid: 11 pts 3-3, 3r, 1a in 10 minutes. – 8:43 PM
Twice now the Spurs have run 5/2 P&Rs where Wemby is the ball handler and Branham is the screener.
1st time = Branham layup
2nd time = Branham catch on roll and he passed to an open Cedi for a missed three – 8:42 PM
Gobert dunking on Wembanyama was the most significant French on French clash since the days of Robespierre. – 8:41 PM
Gobert got his countryman. A pump fake and dunk on Wembanyama – 8:38 PM
1Q: Wolves by 8.
Wemby in 7 mins: 8 pts, 5 reb, 1 blk, 1 stl, 1 ast
Cedi 5 pts off bench
Ant 12 pts
Naz 5 pts
2s and 3s: Wolves +12
FTs: Spurs +4 – 8:36 PM
The Spurs have trailed by double digits in 78% of their games this season.
San Antonio enters 4-41 when down by 10 points – 8:35 PM
Spurs were up by three when Wemby went to the bench. Down by six when he returns. – 8:32 PM
Wemby comes close to the self-lob attempt 🤏

Monte Morris’ very active and effective first stint on the floor gets Chris Finch to meet him out in the middle of the floor for a high five as the Spurs call timeout.
Last game was Morris’ best game in Minnesota, and this one — at least early — keeps the upward trend goin. – 8:28 PM
Spurs with an energetic opening six minutes. Now time for tonight’s episode of, “How bad will this get with Wemby on the bench?” – 8:23 PM
8 points for Wemby to begin
-2 points off a dunk driving by Anderson
-3 points off a crossover into step-back three
-3 points from the FT line
He also had an incredible play on the break where he went behind the back, threw the ball off the glass and was fouled on catch – 8:21 PM
Wemby with 8 points, gives McDaniels two early fouls as Spurs open a 13-10 lead. Wolves tentatively trying to find their way offensively right now in the halfcourt. 5 of their 10 points have come on fast break so far. – 8:20 PM
first bucket on the new court.

The Wolves are 2-1 against the Spurs this season and their biggest win against them was by 8 points, and they’re without KAT. – 8:03 PM
Gobert (ankle) is in the lineup for the Wolves tonight vs Spurs – 8:01 PM
ROLL CALL: drop a wolf emoji if you’re watching.

Rudy Gobert is IN tonight.
He was lookin spry and healthy going through his pregame workout. – 7:33 PM
Finch on Wemby: “There’s no doubt this kid is coming. He’ll be a handful for a long time.” – 6:23 PM
Karl-Anthony Towns is out tonight.
Rudy Gobert is a game-time decision with his ankle injury, per Finch.
Finch did not want to share who will be starting in KAT’s place. In the game KAT missed earlier this season (against Sacramento), Kyle Anderson started in his place. – 6:21 PM
No KAT tonight for Minny. Rudy coming off an ankle sprain. Ant Edwards hasn’t quite been himself since the break.
Spurs typically play the Wolves well.
You could talk yourself into the Spurs having a puncher’s chance tonight. – 6:13 PM
The winner of the world’s richest horse race is a stubborn 6-year-old named Senor Buscador, co-owned and bred by a San Antonio man and his late father.

The L2M report for the DET-NYK game is out. There were 3 incorrect calls in the last 2 min. We know the most obvious, but here are the other 2.
Says Duren committed a foul right before Grimes’ go-ahead layup. Duren was also in the paint for 3 secs before Donte’s loose ball foul. pic.twitter.com/C45fOo15lX – 5:05 PM
Zach Collins can’t help but laugh when foolhardy teams and players try to take aim at Victor Wembanyama.
“In some small way, I respect it,” Collins said.
If the idea of attacking Wemby is to put him in foul trouble, it isn’t working.

New Mismatch just dropped. @ChrisVernonShow and I on the Kings losing to the shorthanded Heat, Knicks stealing a Pistons win, Nets chances of making the play-in, silver linings for the Hawks, Bronny James, Isaiah Collier, Kentucky prospects, and Wemby. spotify.link/rIU45yltxHb – 3:43 PM
Victor Wembanyama compared to Wilt Chamberlain: “They are going to try to change the rules, he’ll have some quadruple-doubles” #NBA
