Spurs Beat Pacers for 53rd Win as Wembanyama Cleared to Play

San Antonio extended its surge despite late injury changes, with Victor Wembanyama cleared pregame to contribute in 26 minutes.

Overview

  • San Antonio never trailed in a 134-119 home win, led by 24 points each from Keldon Johnson and rookie Dylan Harper, who scored efficiently in his first NBA start.
  • Victor Wembanyama, upgraded from questionable about 30 minutes before tipoff, posted 20 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five blocks while managing a sore right ankle.
  • The victory moved the Spurs to 53-18 and 21 wins in their last 23 games, marking their most victories in a season since 2017.
  • Devin Vassell was ruled out minutes before tipoff with right hamstring tightness, and Stephon Castle remained out, as Indiana dressed a long list of previously questionable players.
  • Indiana’s skid reached a franchise-record 16 straight losses to fall to 15-56, despite Andrew Nembhard’s 25 points and Jarace Walker’s 21.
