SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (6-7) will visit their in-state rival, Dallas Mavericks (5-7). It will also be the second game of a back-to-back set for the Spurs.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 120-115 home loss versus the Lakers.
Victor Wembanyama finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds to lead the team. Julian Champagnie had 10 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes finished with eight, Keldon Johnson had 12, and Chris Paul had 11 points and 11 assists.

San Antonio was without Jeremy Sochan and Tre Jones due to injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich was also out due to illness. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson assumed head coaching duties for the game.
“I'd say we had some good moments. We just went back and forth. That doesn't work against an experienced team like them (the Lakers)," said Wembanyama. "I think it's promising. Still a good one. It's not linear, but we're getting better."
