Spurs Amidst Major Setbacks
The team now confronts a challenging period following a significant loss, with its performance hindered by critical injuries to two of its top players.
Key Player Setbacks
De’Aaron Fox will undergo a season-ending surgery to address ligament damage in his left fifth finger, an injury sustained during training camp. Simultaneously, Victor Wembanyama is sidelined after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder following a period of notable fatigue after the All-Star break. Medical evaluations revealed abnormal symptoms in his arm that have prompted this decision.
Challenging Road Ahead
With these key players missing, the Spurs have struggled in recent games, recording a poor win-loss tally that has left them tied with another contender in the standings. The remaining schedule presents a critical opportunity to improve their position in the Western Conference. Despite a few opponents also grappling with injuries, the absence of Fox and Wembanyama deepens the challenge as the team faces a series of demanding matchups.
