In a chat with the media ahead of the Spurs' game tonight, Chris Paul opened up on the challenges his group has faced over the past few months. Paul revealed that it's been tough for the Spurs given their recent health scares involving Gregg Popovich and Victor Wembanyama.

“Victor Wembanyama had experienced low energy lately that was causing concern,” Amick reported. “When he still had low energy at All-Star weekend, and through his two-day vacation after it, the tests began that ultimately uncovered the deep vein thrombosis.”

After the San Antonio Spurs released the brutal news of Victor Wembanyama to the public, their 2024-25 season seemed doomed. While worrying about Wembanyama's health is understandable, prematurely labeling the Spurs' 2024-25 campaign finished is disrespectful to Chris Paul. Paul's successful NBA history could save the Spurs season.
