Though it was expected, not having Victor Wembanyama Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies is going to make breaking that skid even tougher. Wembanyama has missed the Spurs' last five games after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

The San Antonio Spurs will face the Memphis Grizzlies without their star rookie Victor Wembanyama, who is out for the season due to illness. The Spurs, already dealing with multiple injuries, will be shorthanded against the Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies suffered their second straight loss on Saturday in a tight battle against the Victor Wembanyama -less San Antonio Spurs. The Grizzlies did all they could to scrape out a win but in the end, it was De'Aaron Fox and the Spurs who secured a 130-128 road win at Memphis' FedEx Forum.

The 4th seeded Memphis Grizzlies will be without star forward Jaren Jackson jr as he returns from an ankle injury.

Though he hadn't shot the ball particularly well, Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox shares how his game-winner went in vs. the Grizzlies.

Beyond Wembanyama, the Spurs might be without Charles Bassey once more as the center continues to doctor a bone bruise in his left knee, but a final status has yet to be determined. Chet Holmgren will also be unavailable, helping ease opposing size.
