在马刺队以118-116战胜波特兰队的周五晚上，维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)有很多理由感到高兴，其中包括他的背部在34分钟的比赛中安然无恙，这是他自12月3日以来出场时间最长的一场比赛。
“伙计，我现在感觉很好，真的太高兴了。因为我一度被撞到了，当时很疼，但远不及以前那么疼了，”文班说道。
文班砍下全队最高的28分，外加7个篮板、7次助攻和2次盖帽，马刺队克服了第四节17分的落后，取得了两连胜，并将战绩提升至13胜12负，这是他们自2020-21赛季以来首次在25场比赛后取得胜率过半的战绩。
这位身高7尺3寸的中锋因腰背酸痛缺席了12月5日至6日的两场比赛。12月8日复出后，他在战胜新奥尔良鹈鹕队的比赛中出场26分钟，上半场曾因一次摔倒加重伤势而短暂离场。
由于NBA杯的比赛，马刺队在对阵开拓者队之前有四天的休息时间，文班表示这段休整期对他的健康“非常有益”。
文班在波特兰的比赛中毫发无损，这对马刺队来说是一个好消息，因为他们面对开拓者队时，有四名轮换球员因伤缺阵：新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)（肩伤）、扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)（背伤）、凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)（小腿伤）和特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)（肩伤）。
马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)在周五的比赛前表示，他们的伤势都是每日观察的状态。
“我希望他们能尽快回来，”约翰逊说。“但他们都受到了相当严重的撞击。（凯尔登·约翰逊的伤势）显然不是撞击造成的，但你必须谨慎对待。”
由于卡斯尔、科林斯、约翰逊和琼斯缺阵，马刺队在波特兰只有11名球员可以上场。
保罗八天内第二次被驱逐出场
克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在第一节末段因抱怨裁判被判两次技术犯规而被驱逐出场，这是马刺队球员在三场比赛中第二次被驱逐出场。
科林斯在12月6日对阵萨克拉门托国王队的比赛中，在第二节初段被驱逐出场。由于他在离场前做出了不雅手势，NBA对他处以35,000美元的罚款。
保罗出场11分钟，得到5分和4次助攻。
保罗并不是周五唯一对裁判判罚有意见的马刺球员。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)质疑为什么他在比赛还剩9分08秒时被判技术犯规。
“我想那是我职业生涯中的第一次，”瓦塞尔说。“我甚至都没有说脏话，突然就被吹了技术犯规。我心想，‘好吧，行吧。’”
首发控卫缺阵，约翰逊深挖板凳席
由于保罗、卡斯尔和琼斯缺阵，约翰逊在波特兰启用了布莱克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)和马拉基·布拉纳姆(Malaki Branham)来填补控球后卫的空缺。
韦斯利出场25分钟，得到8分和8次助攻，追平了赛季最高，只出现1次失误。
布拉纳姆出场15分钟，得到2分和3次助攻。
“布莱克很棒。马拉基、（替补中锋）查理·巴塞(Charlie Bassey)、（替补前锋）桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)，”约翰逊说。“今晚我们每个人都需要站出来。每个人都做到了。”
前锋杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)也在波特兰的比赛中客串了几次控球后卫。

Wembanyama’s back held up while carrying heavy load for Spurs

Victor Wembanyama had several reasons to be happy after the Spurs’ 118-116 win over Portland on Friday night, including that his back survived 34 minutes of action, the most he’s played since Dec. 3.
“Man, I’m so glad about how it feels now because I got hit at one point and it hurt, but nowhere near as much as it used to,” Wembanyama said.
With Wembanyama recording a team-high 28 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks, the Spurs overcame a 17-point fourth quarter deficit to win their second game in a row and improve to 13-12, giving them a winning record through 25 games for the first time since 2020-21.
The 7-foot-3 center missed a pair of games Dec. 5-6 with a sore lower back. When he returned Dec. 8, he logged 26 minutes in a win over New Orleans after missing a portion of the first half after a fall reaggravated the injury.
Due to the NBA Cup competition, the Spurs had four days off before facing the Trail Blazers, a hiatus Wembanyama said was “really beneficial” to his health.
Wembanyama getting through the Portland game unscathed was some good injury news for a team that faced the Trail Blazers without four injured rotation players: rookie Stephon Castle (shoulder), Zach Collins (back), Keldon Johnson (calf) and Tre Jones (shoulder).
Acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before Friday’s game they are all day to day.
“I hope to have 'em back soon,” Johnson said. “But they all had some decent hits. (Keldon Johnson’s injury) wasn’t obviously a hit, but you just have to be mindful.”
With Castle, Collins, Johnson and Jones out, the Spurs had only 11 active players in Portland.
Paul’s ejection second in eight days for Spurs
Chris Paul getting tossed late in the first period after picking up two technical fouls for complaining about the officiating marked the second time in three games a Spur has been ejected from a game.
Colljns was ejected early in the second quarter against Sacramento Dec. 6. The NBA fined him $35,000 for making an obscene gesture before leaving the court.
Paul exited Friday’s game with five points and four assists in 11 minutes.
Paul wasn’t the only Spur who had a beef with the officials Friday. Devin Vassell questioned why he got hit with a technical foul with 9:08 left in the game.
“I think that’s the first one in my career,” Vassell said. "I didn’t even say a curse word and all of a sudden I get tech’d up. I’m like, ‘All right, cool.’ "
With point guards out, Johnson dug deep into bench
With Paul, Castle and Jones out, Johnson turned to Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham to fill in at point guard in Portland.
Wesley had eight points and matched his season high with eight assists in 25 minutes. He committed just one turnover.
Branham finished with two points and three assists in 15 minutes.
“Blake was great. Malaki, (backup center) Charlie (Bassey), (reserve forward) Sandro (Mamukelashvili),” Johnson said. “We needed everybody tonight. Everybody rang the bell.”
Forward Jeremy Sochan also took a few turns at point guard in Portland.
