Pregame Primer: Wembanyama and the Spurs come to town

NBA.com preview | Tip-off: 8:30 PM | Broadcast: Local/League Pass

3 Big Things

  • Thunder vs. Spurs. Attention for the Chet Holmgren/Victor Wembanyama matchup has eclipsed the Oklahoma City/San Antonio rivalry of late. The Spurs are not in the Thunder's league, so this game is just another dot on the schedule for 2024/25. But Wemby and the Spurs will be coming as fully fledged title hopefuls very soon, and the long-running OKC/San Antonio rivalry gets richer on nights like tonight.
  • Chet vs. Wemby. No shame in hyping this, too.
