Questions for The Vic-and-Roll Mailbag
Another bite from the injury bug places San Antonio in a precarious position...
The San Antonio Spurs were on the wrong end of a dominant outing on Monday night as Joel Embiid exploded for 70 points, 18 rebounds, and five assists, setting a franchise record and career-high in the process. While the reigning NBA MVP picked apart this young ball club, Victor Wembanyama helped keep the contest within striking distance with 33 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks amid a minutes restriction.
Despite adding another loss to their resume, this game continued an upward trend for the Silver and Black that began when Gregg Popovich shifted Tre Jones to the starting lineup. However, an untimely tangling of bodies in the fourth quarter sent the 24-year-old point guard to the locker room with an unspecified ankle injury, taking the air out of their lungs and leaving their offense without a tried-and-true orchestrator.

I know it’s still early, but do you have favorite prospects for the spurs in the 24 draft?
Thank you and kind regards
Sounds like Tre Jones is mostly okay, but would Blake Wesley get starter duties if he misses some time?
