周一上午，在胜利资本训练中心举行的马刺队媒体日活动上，圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和新援克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在合影后分享了一个瞬间。
马刺队主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)周六表示，他不确定谁将参加球队的季前赛首场比赛。
“你们可能可以猜到一些首发球员是谁，但我想看看他们从这次训练营中恢复得如何，”波波维奇在谈到第一周的训练营时说。“这是艰难的一周，我想看看他们的身体状况如何，等等。”
随着评估的结束，马刺队周日宣布，包括球星中锋维克托·文班亚马在内的几名球员将不会在周一晚上于弗罗斯特银行中心对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的比赛中出场。
另外五名球员也被排除在外：克里斯·保罗、德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)、扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)、查尔斯·巴斯(Charles Bassey)和小大卫·杜克(David Duke Jr.)。
瓦塞尔（脚）、科林斯（肩）和巴斯（膝）在上赛季或休赛期都接受了手术。杜克由于在马刺夏季联赛期间遭受的臀部伤势，在训练营中一直受到限制。
预计瓦塞尔将至少缺席常规赛的前五场比赛。马刺队此前曾表示，他将在11月1日接受重新评估。
科林斯和巴斯一直在参加训练，但在他们接受手术后，球队并不急于让他们重返赛场。
上赛季的NBA年度最佳新秀文班亚马和7月份加盟的39岁未来名人堂成员保罗上周都参加了全部五次训练。
马刺队的第二场季前赛将于周三在主场迎战奥兰多魔术队。

Spurs rule out Wembanyama, several others for preseason opener
Spurs Victor Wembanyama and new addition Chris Paul share a moment after being photographed during Spurs Media Day activities Monday morning at the Victory Capital Performance Center.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Saturday he wasn’t sure who would be on the court for the team’s preseason opener.
“You can probably guess who some of the starters are, but I want to see how they come out of this,” Popovich said, referring to the first week of training camp. “It was a tough week and I want to see what their bodies look like and that kind of thing.”
With that assessment out of the way, the Spurs announced Sunday that several players, including star center Victor Wembanyama, won’t suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night at the Frost Bank Center.
Five other players were also ruled out: Chris Paul, Devin Vassell, Zach Collins, Charles Bassey and David Duke Jr.
Vassell (foot), Collins (shoulder) and Bassey (knee) all underwent surgery either during last season or in the offseason. Duke has been limited in camp due to a hip injury he suffered while playing with the Spurs summer league team.
Vassell is expected to miss at least the first five games of the regular season. The Spurs said previously that he would be re-evaluated on Nov. 1.
Collins and Bassey have been participating in practice, but there’s no rush to get them back on the court after their procedures.
Wembanyama, last season’s NBA Rookie of the Year, and Paul, the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer in July, both participated in all five practices last week.
The Spurs’ second exhibition game is set for Wednesday at home against the Orlando Magic.
