The San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings are set to clash again, with memories of their last meeting still fresh. Back in November, the Spurs secured a 123-110 victory, thanks in part to De’Aaron Fox's impressive 28-point performance.
As the Spurs aim for a playoff spot, they've got a secret weapon in Victor Wembanyama. Wemby recently lit up the Lakers with a jaw-dropping 40-point game, leading to a dominating 136-108 win.
The Kings, on the other hand, are struggling this season, sitting at the bottom with a 12-44 record. Zach LaVine had been a bright spot, leading the team with an average of 19.2 points per game.
However, his season was cut short due to a right-hand injury. Now, it's up to Russell Westbrook to step up.
Westbrook, who leads the team in assists (6.6) and steals (1.3), is expected to return after the All-Star break, following an ankle injury.
As the Kings look to salvage some pride, the Spurs are keen to maintain their momentum. With Wembanyama in top form, the Spurs are eyeing another commanding performance. Fans will be watching closely to see if Westbrook can rally the Kings and make this matchup more competitive.
