圣安东尼奥马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊（Mitch Johnson），左，和圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马，右，在2025年3月12日星期三在圣安东尼奥举行的NBA篮球比赛下半场观看对阵达拉斯小牛队的回放。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 正在努力保持体形，同时接受针对血栓的治疗，而血栓结束了他的本赛季。
在周五对阵夏洛特黄蜂队的比赛前，马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊表示：“我们为他制定了一项全面的计划，让他能够以自己想要的方式积极主动地进行训练，但又不会过度劳累。”
在马刺队在没有文班亚马的情况下结束本赛季之际，文班亚马一直在骑固定自行车、举重并进行其他体能训练。球队在2月20日宣布，这位全明星中锋在NBA的第二个赛季已经结束，原因是他的右肩患有深静脉血栓。
约翰逊说：“他想尝试做所有的事情。如果可以的话，他今晚本可以顶替(德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox))出场。”
马刺队周四宣布，福克斯的本赛季也已结束，他将接受手术修复左手第五根手指的伸肌腱。福克斯计划下周二在洛杉矶接受手术。
新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)代替福克斯首发对阵黄蜂队。
马刺队表示，预计21岁的文班亚马和27岁的福克斯都能完全康复，并在下个赛季重返赛场。
球队尚未宣布文班亚马恢复篮球活动的时间表，但福克斯周五表示，他需要“12周左右”才能康复。
福克斯说：“我知道在最初的几周我真的什么都不能抓，但我仍然会锻炼并尽我所能。”
他说他不会做的一件事是和文班亚马一起骑固定自行车。
福克斯说：“我宁愿站起来跑步。我讨厌骑自行车。”
福克斯说，他对最近文班亚马汗流浃背的样子印象深刻。
福克斯说：“这是一个能说明问题的迹象。他想上场，所以他会尽其所能。很明显，他受到了限制，但他是一个努力的人。他有很棒的职业道德，一旦他们说他可以做某些事情，他就会去做。”
黄蜂队击败马刺队，横扫赛季系列赛
卡斯尔在他职业生涯的第30次首发中得到26分，但黄蜂队命中了创球队纪录的26个三分球，以145-134轻松击败马刺队。
26个三分球也是马刺队对手的纪录。
马刺队（27胜38负）最多时落后31分，最终在过去五场比赛中第四次失利。夏洛特黄蜂队（17胜49负）追平了NBA上半场三分球命中数纪录，以18个三分球的成绩横扫了与马刺队的赛季系列赛，此前他们在2月7日在夏洛特以117-116获胜。
约翰逊在谈到马刺队周五的防守表现时说：“我们只需要更多的抵抗。如果你打一场没有比赛计划的街头篮球比赛，仍然会令人失望。”
在去年的两场比赛中两队战平之后，黄蜂队在过去四个赛季中有三个赛季横扫了与马刺队的赛季系列赛。
拉梅洛·鲍尔凭借11投7中的三分球和14次助攻，为黄蜂队贡献了27分，黄蜂队全场三分球46投26中（56.5%），而他们在进入比赛时是NBA三分球命中率倒数第三的球队（33%）。
小尼克·史密斯(Nick Smith Jr.)为黄蜂队贡献了26分。迈尔斯·格林(Miles Green)贡献了21分，乔什·格林(Josh Green)贡献了20分。
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)为马刺队贡献了22分，马刺队本赛季让对手获得了第二高的得分。
由于福克斯缺席，卡斯尔自2月3日以来首次首发。作为年度最佳新秀的主要竞争者，卡斯尔的投篮效率很高，17投10中，包括三分球7投3中。
卡斯尔在谈到年度最佳新秀的竞争时说：“很难不去关注它。我不会说我一直在为此而努力。你一年到头都没有听到我说过任何关于它的事情。只是出去自由地打球，让事情顺其自然。”
卡斯尔本月创下了第五次20+得分的比赛。他还完成了一次抢断和一次盖帽。
约翰逊在谈到卡斯尔再次首发时说：“我认为他已经做过很多次了，所以我不认为这对他来说是难以承受的。我认为他会继续调整并重新进入节奏。”

Wembanyama doing ‘extensive’ conditioning work
San Antonio Spurs acting head coach Mitch Johnson, left, and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, right, watch a replay during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks in San Antonio, Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
Victor Wembanyama is working hard to stay in shape while undergoing treatment for the blood clot that ended his season.
“There’s an extensive plan for him to be as active and aggressive as he wants to be without doing too much,” acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before Friday’s game against Charlotte.
Wembanyama has been riding a stationary bike, lifting weights and doing other conditioning work while the Spurs wind down the season without him. The team announced Feb. 20 that the All-Star center’s second season in the NBA had come to an end due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
“He’s trying to do everything,” Johnson said. “He would start tonight for (De’Aaron) Fox if he could.”
The Spurs announced Thursday that Fox’s season had ended as he prepares for surgery to repair the extensor tendon in his left fifth finger. Fox is set to undergo the operation next Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Rookie Stephon Castle started in Fox’s place against the Hornets.
The Spurs have said Wembanyama, 21, and Fox, 27, are expected to make full recoveries and return to the court next season.
The team has not announced a timeline for Wembanyama to return to basketball activities, but Fox said Friday he would need “12 weeks or something like that” to recover.
“I know for the first couple weeks I can’t really grab anything, but I’ll still be working out and doing whatever I can,” Fox said.
One thing he said he won’t be doing is joining Wembanyama on the stationary bike.
“I’d rather just actually get up and run,” Fox said. “I hate getting on a bike.”
Fox said he’s been impressed with all the sweat that’s been pouring off Wembanyama lately.
“It’s a telltale sign of him,” Fox said. “He wants to be out there, so he does whatever he can. Obviously, he is limited, but he’s a worker, man. He has a great work ethic, and the moment they said he could do stuff, he does stuff.”
Hornets down Spurs to sweep season series
Castle scored 26 points in his 30th career start, but the Hornets hit a franchise-record 26 3-pointers to claim an easy 145-134 win over the Spurs.
The 26 3s were also a record for a Spurs opponent.
The Spurs (27-38) trailed by as many as 31 points en route to losing for the fourth time in the last five games. Charlotte (17-49) tied an NBA record for 3-pointers in a first half with 18 on their way to sweeping their season series with the Spurs after winning 117-116 Feb. 7 in Charlotte.
“We just need more resistance. If you played a pick-up game, with no game plan, that would still be disappointing,” Johnson said of the Spurs’ defensive performance Friday. "
The Hornets have swept their season series with the Spurs three out of the last four seasons after the teams split their two games last year.
LaMelo Ball had 27 points on the strength of 7 for 11 from deep and 14 assists to lead the Hornets, who finished 26 of 46 (56.5%) from beyond the arc (56.5%) after entering the game as the NBA’s third-worst 3-point shooting team by percentage (33%).
Nick Smith Jr. added 26 for the Hornets. Miles Green added 21 and Josh Green contributed 20.
Devin Vassell had 22 points for the Spurs, who yielded the second-most points to an opponent this season.
With Fox out, Castle started for the first time since Feb. 3. The leading contender for Rookie of the Year, Castle was an efficient 10 for 17 from the field, including 3 for 7 from distance.
“It’s hard not to look at it,” Castle said of the race for Rookie of the Year. “I wouldn’t say I’ve been shooting for it. You haven’t heard me say anything about it at all all year. Just going out there and playing free and just let things work out for themselves."
Castle recorded his his fifth 20-point game this month. He also had a steal and a block.
“I think he’s done it quite a bit, so I don’t think it’s something that’s overwhelming to him,” Johnson said of Castle starting again. “I think he’ll continue to adjust and get back into rhythm.”
