The Los Angeles Lakers begin their defense of their Emirates NBA Cup championship as they head to San Antonio to take on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in their first group stage game. Of course, the matchup between the Spurs phenom and Lakers superstar Anthony Davis should receive much of the attention.
Davis is looking to bounce back after his worst offensive performance of the season, while Wembanyama is coming off his first career 50-point game. The two also battled in the gold medal game this summer at the Olympics in Paris so they are pretty familiar with each other at this point.
