Victor Wembanyama’s first start at center comes in loss to Bulls
Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports The losing streak continues as the Spurs show more signs of improvement. It finally happened. The San Antonio Spurs started wingspan wonder Victor Wembanyama at center. Additionally, Jeremy Sochan returned to the starting five, but this time not as the primary ballhandler, but as one of four wings, situationally even as a power forward. And he looked much more comfortable finishing plays in the paint than he had been out on the perimeter as point guard. Here’s of two powerful dunks he had in the first quarter: Jeremy with the...

Almost the instant the Spurs signed him last season, fans have been in love with Sandro Mamukelashvili, and not just because his nickname of Mamu sounds very similar to another fan favorite and legend, but he’s also a lot of fun. He brings plenty of energy on the court, and off it he’s the source of many laughs for both fans and his teammates.

Unfortunately, it was the same old story for the Spurs. They looked good on both ends early and led by double digits at halftime, but once again they came out of the break flat and got completely rolled over in the second half,...
