The San Antonio Spurs continued their impressive run in the league, comfortably defeating the Philadelphia 76ers with a final score of 115-102. With this victory, the Spurs reached an impressive 60-19 record, confirming their excellent form this season as they secured their 60th win.
Despite the win, there's an air of concern within the team following Victor Wembanyama's injury. The French star was hurt during a scramble for the ball, falling to the ground.
Although initial fears centered on his shoulder, he remained in the game until the end of the first half, eventually leaving with rib pain. The official team update indicates a rib contusion, but the player is expected to undergo further medical examinations to assess the severity of the situation and his potential recovery timeline.
Stephon Castle was the standout performer for the winners, delivering an impressive triple-double with 19 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds.
For the 76ers, Joel Embiid led the charge with 34 points, 12 rebounds, and 1 assist.
