2024年12月1日，加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托：在萨克拉门托黄金一号中心举行的比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队的33号特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)在第一节结束的压哨时刻越过萨克拉门托国王队23号基恩·埃利斯(Keon Ellis)投篮得分。
菲尼克斯——替补控球后卫特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)周日左臂戴着吊带离开了萨克拉门托的黄金一号中心。
这样的医疗配件现在俨然已成为马刺队最新队服潮流的一部分。
本赛季马刺队还没有打过一场完全健康的比赛，随着琼斯因多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯(Domantas Sabonis)的掩护而肩部扭伤，这一趋势似乎还将继续下去。
这标志着琼斯重返伤病名单，他此前因赛季揭幕战中脚踝高位扭伤缺席了七场比赛才刚刚复出。
“这对特雷来说绝对糟糕，”前锋朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)说。“他刚刚恢复了节奏，重新找到了感觉。显然，我们都在为他祈祷，希望他尽快回来。”
琼斯最新伤病的时机对马刺队来说有些令人沮丧。如果他在周日以127-125战胜国王队的比赛中最后8分23秒没有受伤，周二很可能标志着球队期待已久的全员健康回归。
俱乐部将杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)列为当晚在菲尼克斯举行的NBA杯比赛的可能出场球员，这表明这位21岁的前锋在11月4日左手拇指骨折后正按计划复出。
自从在客场输给洛杉矶快船队的比赛中受伤以来，索汉已经连续缺席了13场比赛。
“不能参加比赛，身心都很煎熬，”索汉说。“我认为最重要的是我们一直打得很好，我只是在那里支持我的球队。”
到目前为止，本赛季马刺队因伤病损失了45个球员比赛场次。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)高居这份不幸的名单榜首，他因右脚受伤和左膝骨挫伤共缺席了14场比赛。
在琼斯在萨克拉门托与萨博尼斯相撞之前，索汉预计将是马刺队最后一块拼图，使球队完整。
尽管现在失去了琼斯，马刺队也不会轻描淡写索汉回归的意义。
在七场首发比赛中，索汉场均得到15.4分、7.7个篮板和3次助攻，同时在防守端保持着他特有的纠缠性。
“无论杰里米的数据如何，他都为比赛带来了一定程度的身体对抗，”尚帕尼说。“他每晚都是这样。”
索汉将如何融入已经有所运转的轮换阵容还有待观察。
在瓦塞尔伤愈复出期间，马刺队一直让他替补出场，代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)表示，在可预见的未来，这种情况将继续下去。
约翰逊周日表示，他还不确定索汉是否会走同样的道路，还是会作为一名完全成熟的首发球员回归。
“我现在还没有答案，”约翰逊说。“正如我们一直说的，球员会告诉我们。所以希望这是一个幸福的烦恼。”
约翰逊认为，索汉伤病的性质——没有影响到他身体任何会妨碍跑步的部位——使他能够在恢复期间保持良好的状态。
“他在保持身体状态方面做得非常好，”约翰逊说。“所以希望他很快就能在这里迅速融入。”
马刺队力求刷新三分球纪录
在马刺队过去两场对阵萨克拉门托的比赛中，他们一共投进了45个三分球。
他们在11月11日于弗罗斯特银行中心取得的胜利中投进的22个三分球追平了球队纪录。他们在周日于黄金一号中心投进的23个三分球打破了这一纪录。
马刺队对阵萨克拉门托的三分球纪录背后是有原因的。
“萨克拉门托在收缩内线、重兵防守、轮转方面做得很好，”约翰逊说。“我们确实觉得，如果我们以正确的方式拉开空间并转移球，我们就能投进一些内外结合的节奏三分。”
在周日的比赛中，马刺队46次出手命中了一半。
三分球纪录注定最终会被打破，因为马刺队终于和联盟其他球队一样开始大量出手三分球了。
截至周二，马刺队场均出手40.4次三分球，排名NBA第四。他们场均投进14.5个三分球，排名前十。
由于周五在弗罗斯特银行中心将再次对阵萨克拉门托，马刺队新的三分球纪录可能不会持续太久。
“我们想打破尽可能多的纪录，”尚帕尼说。“继续保持下去。”
西索科结束奥斯汀之旅回归
在开始他们的两场客场之旅之前，马刺队将二年级前锋西迪·西索科(Sidy Cissoko)送到奥斯汀参加了一场G联赛的比赛。
西索科在对阵德克萨斯传奇队的29分钟内得到20分，然后在周六乘坐马刺队的航班前往萨克拉门托。
“任何时候，当你有一名年轻球员没有得到稳定的出场时间时，你都会努力最大限度地促进他们的发展，”约翰逊说。“我们尽量让球员们在奥斯汀打球。多年来，这一直是球队计划的一部分。”
本赛季西索科已经参加了8场NBA级别的比赛，场均出场2.9分钟。

Tre Jones’ injury comes with unfortunate timing for San Antonio Spurs
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 01: Tre Jones #33 of the San Antonio Spurs makes a shot over Keon Ellis #23 of the Sacramento Kings at the buzzer at the end of the first period at Golden 1 Center on December 01, 2024 in Sacramento, California.
PHOENIX – Backup point guard Tre Jones left Sacramento’s Golden1 Center on Sunday with his left arm in a sling.
Such a medical accessory might as well be a part of the Spurs’ newest uniform fad.
The Spurs have not played a single came this season with a completely healthy roster, a trend that appears apt to continue with Jones nursing a shoulder sprain courtesy of a Domantas Sabonis screen.
It marks a return to the injured list for Jones, who was seven games back from a return from a high ankle sprain suffered in the season opener.
“It definitely sucks for Tre,” forward Julian Champagnie said. “He was just getting his rhythm back and getting his feet back under him. Obviously we’re praying for him and want him to come back as soon as possible.”
The timing of Jones’ latest injury was somewhat frustrating for the Spurs. Had he survived the final 8:23 of Sunday’s 127-125 win over the Kings unscathed, Tuesday would have likely marked the team’s long-awaited return to full health.
The club listed Jeremy Sochan as probable for that night’s NBA Cup game in Phoenix, a sign the 21-year-old forward was on pace to make his return after fracturing his left thumb on Nov. 4.
Sochan had missed 13 consecutive games since suffering the injury in a road loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.
“It was tough mentally and physically not playing in games,” Sochan said. “I think the most important thing is we’ve been playing great, and just being there to support my team.”
So far this season, the Spurs have lost 45 player-games to injury. Devin Vassell heads that unfortunate list, having missed 14 contests with a combination of a right foot injury and left knee bone bruise.
Until Jones ran afoul of Sabonis in Sacramento, Sochan was expected to be the final piece remaining to make the Spurs whole.
Despite now missing Jones, the Spurs will not downplay what it will mean to have Sochan back in the fold.
In seven starts, Sochan averaged 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and three assists, while remaining his particularly pestering self on the defensive end.
“No matter what numbers Jeremy puts up, he brings a certain level of physicality to the game,” Champagnie said. “He’s like that every night.”
How Sochan will fit into a rotation that has been somewhat rolling remains to be seen.
The Spurs have been bringing Vassell off the bench during his time off the injured list, a process acting coach Mitch Johnson says will continue for the foreseeable future.
Johnson said Sunday he was not yet sure whether Sochan would follow the same path, or return as a full-fledged starter.
“I have no answer for you right now,” Johnson said. “As we’ve always said, the players will tell us. So hopefully it’s good problems to have."
Johnson believes the nature of Sochan’s injury – which did not affect any part of his body that would hamper running – allowed him to stay in good condition during his recovery.
“He’s done a really good job with his body staying in shape,” Johnson said. “So hopefully he’ll hit the ground running here with this soon."
Spurs’ aim to reset 3-point mark
In the Spurs’ past two games against Sacramento, they have combined for 45 3-pointers.
The 22 they registered in a Nov. 11 victory at the Frost Bank Center tied a franchise record. They 23 they buried Sunday at the Golden1 Center broke it.
There is a reason behind the Spurs’ record-setting success from the 3-point line against Sacramento in particular.
“Sacramento does a great job of packing the paint, showing heavy shifts, rotating,” Johnson said. “We did feel if we spaced the right way and moved the ball, we’d be able to have some inside-out rhythm threes.”
The Spurs made half of their 46 attempts in Sunday’s victory.
The 3-point record was bound to fall eventually, as the Spurs have at last joined the rest of the league in hoisting them up.
Heading into Tuesday, the Spurs were averaging 40.4 3-point tries per game, fourth-most in the NBA. Their 14.5 made 3-pointers per game ranks in the top 10.
With Sacramento back on the schedule Friday at the Frost Bank Center, the Spurs’ new 3-point record might not last long.
“We want to break as many records as we can,” Champagnie said. “Just keep it up.”
Cissoko back from Austin run
The Spurs sent second-year forward Sidy Cissoko to Austin for one game of G League action before the start of their two-game road trip.
Cissoko scored 20 points in 29 minutes against the Texas Legends, and then was on the Spurs’ flight to Sacramento on Saturday.
“Any time you have a young player who’s not playing consistent minutes, you try and maximize their development,” Johnson said. “We try to get guys playing in Austin. That’s been a part of the program for years now.”
Cissoko has appeared in eight games at the NBA level this season, averaging 2.9 minutes.
