Overview
- Harrison Barnes scored a Spurs-high 31 points on 7-of-12 from three, and De’Aaron Fox finished with 29, including 11 in the final minutes to seal the win.
- San Antonio hit 18 threes to Memphis’ nine, offsetting a 58-42 deficit in paint points as foul trouble limited Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. late.
- The Spurs moved to 14-6 overall and 9-2 at home, improving to 6-2 since Wembanyama’s Nov. 15 calf strain, with rookie Dylan Harper adding 15 off the bench.
- Memphis’ three-game run ended despite Edey’s 19 points and 15 rebounds, as Cam Spencer scored 21 and Jaylen Wells 20 with Ja Morant still sidelined by a calf injury.
- Coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama and Stephon Castle are progressing in on-court rehab without a timetable, and neither traveled to Orlando for Wednesday’s game.
