2025年1月31日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的霜冻银行中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在以144-118战胜密尔沃基雄鹿队后走下球场。
田纳西州孟菲斯——周六在霜冻银行中心对阵迈阿密的比赛开始前一个小时左右，马刺队的球员们得知，他们想要以一场胜利开启二月份的愿望遭受了沉重打击。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)因持续一周的疾病而被排除在比赛名单之外。
2025年1月31日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的霜冻银行中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)、前锋凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)和中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在第四节对阵密尔沃基雄鹿队的比赛中在板凳席上一起大笑。马刺队以144-118击败了雄鹿队。
这位21岁的马刺全明星球员自球队本周早些时候从巴黎返回后就一直感觉身体不适，他认为这是他的免疫系统难以适应南德克萨斯州充满花粉的空气所致。
“自从我们从法国回来后，过敏反应比以往任何时候都严重，”文班说道。“不过只是从回来之后才开始的，所以正在好转。”
在前一天晚上以30分、14个篮板和6次盖帽的出色表现战胜密尔沃基雄鹿队后，文班并没有出现在板凳席上。马刺队在牛仔之旅开始前的最后一场圣安东尼奥主场比赛中以105-103惜败热火队。
这仅仅是文班本赛季缺席的第六场比赛，马刺队在这些比赛中的战绩为2胜4负。
马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)在周六的比赛后表示，现在判断文班是否能在周一客场挑战孟菲斯的比赛中出场还为时过早。
“显然，他感觉不太好，”约翰逊说。“我希望这只是小问题。我没有具体细节，但听起来并不严重或极端。”
由于他们在攻防两端的核心球员周六无法上场，马刺队知道他们必须改变比赛计划才能有机会战胜热火队。
“一切，”后卫德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)说道。
还是要为马刺队点赞。他们与迈阿密一直鏖战到最后一刻，最终败给了巴姆·阿德巴约(Bam Adebayo)在比赛结束时的19英尺跳投绝杀。
四年级大个子查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)顶替文班获得了职业生涯的第三次首发，贡献了9分和职业生涯最高的14个篮板。
“今年我们曾多次有人挺身而出，”约翰逊说。“我认为查尔斯·巴塞的表现非常出色。”
马刺队依靠凯尔登·约翰逊替补出场的19分和瓦塞尔的18分苦苦支撑，尽管瓦塞尔22投仅8中才得到这18分。
令人惊讶的是，即使缺少联盟盖帽王，马刺队的防守依然坚韧，将热火队的得分限制在105分。这仅仅是本赛季马刺队第二次失分在105分或以下却输掉比赛。
最终，马刺队还是没能抵挡住阿德巴约的30分、12个篮板和9次助攻，以及他最后时刻的致命一击。
“我认为我们给了自己赢得比赛的机会，”前锋哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)说。“你必须称赞巴姆投进了那个球。”
马刺牵挂默里
本周，马刺队成员得知前队友德章泰·默里(Dejounte Murray)的最新伤情后感到非常沮丧。默里在周五代表新奥尔良对阵波士顿的比赛中右脚跟腱撕裂，赛季报销。
对于这位28岁的默里来说，这是他遭遇的一系列伤病中的最新一次。默里在2016年成为马刺队首轮秀后，在球队效力了六个赛季。
在2018-19赛季季前赛中右膝前交叉韧带撕裂后，默里缺席了整个赛季。
“他之前和我们在一起的时候就经历过这样的情况，”马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊说道，他从默里十几岁在西雅图的时候就认识他了。“伤病是比赛中糟糕的一部分，但他——就像其他许多人一样——会变得更强大，并克服它。”
默里在亚特兰大效力了两个赛季后，本赛季是他加盟鹈鹕队的第一个赛季。

Wemby to open rodeo trip under the weather
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (1) walks off the court following a 144-118 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Frost Bank Center on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – About an hour before tipoff against Miami on Saturday at the Frost Bank Center, Spurs players learned word that their bid at opening February with a victory had taken a sizeable blow.
Victor Wembanyama was ruled out with a lingering illness that had been bugging him for the better part of a week.
San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie (30), forward Keldon Johnson (0) and center Victor Wembanyama (1) laugh together on the bench during the fourth quarter against the Milwaukee Bucks at Frost Bank Center on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs defeated the Bucks 144-118.
The Spurs’ 21-year-old All-Star had been feeling under the weather since the team returned from Paris earlier in the week, a condition he blamed on his immune system’s rocky transition back to the pollen-ridden air of South Texas.
“Since we came back from France, allergies have been hitting more than ever,” Wembanyama said. “Just since we came back though, so it’s getting better.”
A night after going for 30 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks in a rousing victory over Milwaukee, Wembanyama was not on the bench as the Spurs lost a 105-103 heartbreaker to the Heat in their final game in San Antonio before the start of the rodeo road trip.
It marked only the sixth game Wembanyama has missed this season, with the Spurs going 2-4 in those contests.
Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said after Saturday’s game it was too soon to determine if Wembanyama might be available for the trip opener Monday at Memphis.
“Obviously he’s not feeling 100 percent,” Johnson said. “I expect it to be minor. I have no details, but it didn’t sound like there’s anything drastic or extreme.”
With their centerpiece on both ends of the court out of commission Saturday, the Spurs knew what would have to change in their game plan to stand a chance against the Heat.
“Everything,” guard Devin Vassell said.
Give the Spurs a bit of credit there. They took Miami to the wire, losing on a tie-breaking 19-footer from Bam Adebayo as time expired.
Fourth-year big man Charles Bassey earned his third career start in Wembanyama’s place, and supplied nine points to go with a career-best 14 rebounds.
“We’ve had times this year where people were called upon and stepped up to the plate,” Johnson said. “I thought Charles Bassey was superb.”
The Spurs hung in behind 19 points off the bench from Keldon Johnson and 18 from Vassell, though it took an 8-of-22 shooting performance to reach that total.
Surprisingly, the Spurs’ defense held tough without the league’s leading shot-blocker, holding the Heat to 105 points. It marked only the second time this season the Spurs had given up 105 points or less and lost.
In the end, the Spurs could not overcome 30 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists from Adebayo, or his final attempt of the night.
“I thought we gave ourselves an opportunity to win the game,” forward Harrison Barnes said. “You just have to give credit to Bam for making that shot.”
Spurs’ thoughts with Murray
Members of the Spurs were disheartened this week to learn of the latest setback for former teammate Dejounte Murray, who suffered a season-ending tear of his right Achilles tendon while playing for New Orleans against Boston on Friday.
It was the latest in a string of setbacks for the 28-year-old Murray, who spent six seasons with the Spurs after becoming the club’s first-round draft pick in 2016.
Murray missed the entire 2018-19 campaign after rupturing his right anterior cruciate ligament during the preseason.
“He’s been in a spot like this before when he was with us,” said Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson, who has known Murray since he was a teenager in Seattle. “Injuries are a crappy part of the game, but he – like so many others – will be back stronger and get through it.”
Murray is in his first season with the Pelicans after playing the previous two in Atlanta.
