圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马和后卫克里斯·保罗在1月13日周一在洛杉矶进行的一场NBA篮球比赛后，在洛杉矶湖人队主教练JJ·雷迪克的孩子凯和诺克斯的球衣上签名合影。
在周一的比赛前，当被问及在没有21岁的法国人文班亚马的情况下对阵马刺时，湖人队教练JJ·雷迪克对维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)表达了良好的祝愿，文班亚马因右肩血栓于2月20日结束了这个赛季。
“我祝他一切顺利，希望他能很快回到球场，并且不会有长期的影响，”雷迪克说，他带领洛杉矶队以125-109战胜了马刺。
“他是一个伟大的人，一位伟大的球员，也是我们联盟的伟大代表，”雷迪克补充道。“我对他有了一些了解，我为他感到难过。”
雷迪克在2023年NBA选秀前见到了文班亚马，当时这位7英尺3英寸的中锋，最终被马刺队以第一顺位选中，是这位前NBA球员的播客“The Old Man and The Three”的嘉宾。
“他所表现出的成熟和周到给我留下了深刻的印象，”雷迪克说。“在任何行业里，都有很多人才华横溢，获得了成功或者即将获得成功，他们都在寻找‘我能得到什么？’，而不是‘我能给予什么？’ 而他是一个给予者，一个‘我能给予什么’的人。”
在1月13日马刺队在洛杉矶以126-102击败湖人队后，文班亚马和马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗将他们的签名比赛球衣送给了雷迪克的儿子诺克斯和凯，雷迪克对文班亚马的好感与日俱增。
这是一个令人感到欣慰的时刻，此前兄弟俩在太平洋帕利塞德的火灾中失去了他们的体育纪念品收藏，这场火灾摧毁了雷迪克的家，并迫使马刺队和湖人队之间原定于1月11日的比赛推迟到周一晚上。
但雷迪克强调，他对文班亚马的好感不仅仅源于这种善意的举动。
“我与马刺队管理层中的很多人关系密切，”他说。“我听到了所有的故事。 他是独一无二的。”
马刺队表示，文班亚马预计将在2025-26赛季开始前完全康复。
索汉因打架被罚出场
马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)在周一的比赛中替补出场26分钟，得到15分，之后与湖人队的贾里德·范德比尔特因打架而被罚出场，当时比赛还剩6分27秒。
这场短暂的冲突始于索汉在范德比尔特因推搡索汉而被吹哨后，将球扔向了范德比尔特。他们短暂地面对面，然后被队友、教练和保安人员隔开。
在官员审查后，两名球员都因技术犯规而被罚出场。
“我认为这是一个（范德比尔特的）碰撞和（索汉的）篮球投掷，以及一些大男子主义的东西，实际上什么都不是，”马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊说。“我认为他们本可以判双方技术犯规然后继续比赛。 我认为他们不需要被罚出场，但也许他们想缓和局势。”

韦斯利在漫长等待后获得出场时间
马刺队后卫布莱克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)在对阵湖人队的比赛中出场22分钟，这是他在过去三场比赛中第二次出场20分钟或更多，而在12月15日至3月10日期间的20场比赛中，他的平均出场时间仅为4.6分钟。
在3月13日马刺队宣布德阿隆·福克斯因左手小指肌腱受损赛季报销后，韦斯利获得了更多的上场时间，他在对阵湖人队的比赛中得到7分，5次助攻，3个篮板，2次抢断和1次盖帽。
约翰逊称赞韦斯利在没有进入轮换阵容的几个月里保持了积极的态度并努力训练。
“我们理解这种沮丧，”约翰逊说。“每个人都想上场，我们希望每个人都能上场。 但是你必须在等待的时候努力。 他做到了，他一直在跃跃欲试，很高兴看到他有机会上场并参与其中，展示他所付出的所有努力。”
NBA TV取消比赛直播
NBA周一宣布，费城队和马刺队周五在Frost Bank中心举行的比赛将不再由NBA TV直播。
这场比赛将在当地由FanDuel体育网络直播。

Redick a big fan of Wembanyama
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and guard Chris Paul pose after autographing their jersey with Kai and Knox, children of Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick after an NBA basketball game Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Lakers coach JJ Redick offered well-wishes to Victor Wembanyama when asked before Monday’s game about facing the Spurs without the 21-year-old Frenchman after his season ended Feb. 20 due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.
“I wish him well and hopefully he’s back on the court very soon and doesn’t have a long-term issue,” said Redick, who coached Los Angeles to a 125-109 win over the Spurs.
“Just a great human, a great player, and just a great representative of our league,” Redick added. “Got to know him a little bit and I feel for him.”
Redick met Wembanyama before the 2023 NBA Draft when the 7-foot-3 center, who eventually was drafted No. 1 overall by the Spurs, was a guest on the former NBA player’s “The Old Man and The Three” podcast.
“I was really struck by his maturity and thoughtfulness,” Redick said. “There are a lot of people in any industry that are talented and have success or are going to have success, and they’re looking for, ‘What can I get?’ rather than ‘What can I give?’ And he’s a giver, a what-can-I-give person.”
Redick’s fondness for Wembanyama grew after the 7-foot-3 center and Spurs point guard Chris Paul gave their autographed game jerseys to Redick’s sons, Knox and Kai, after the Spurs defeated the Lakers 126-102 Jan. 13 in Los Angeles.
It was a feel-good moment after the brothers had lost their sports memorabilia collection in the Pacific Palisades fire that destroyed the Redicks’ home and forced the Jan. 11 game between the Spurs and the Lakers to be postponed until Monday night.
But Redick stressed his fondness for Wembanyama doesn’t just just stem from that gesture of kindness.
“I’m close with a lot of people in the Spurs front office,” he said. “I hear all the stories. He’s one of one.”
Wembanyama is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the 2025-26 season, the Spurs have said.
Sochan tossed for fighting
Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan had 15 points off the bench in 26 minutes before he was ejected along with the Lakers’ Jarred Vanderbilt for fighting with 6:27 left in Monday’s game.
The brief skirmish started when Sochan flung the ball at Vanderbilt after the forward got whistled for shoving Sochan. They briefly squared off before teammates, coaches and security separated them.
Both players were tossed after getting slapped with technical fouls following a review by the officials.
“I thought it was a bump (by Vanderbilt) and the basketball throw (by Sochan) and some macho stuff that was really nothing,” acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “I thought they could have called a double tech and moved on. I didn’t think they needed to be ejected, but maybe they wanted to de-escalate the situation.”

Wesley getting minutes after long wait
Spurs guard Blake Wesley logged 22 minutes against the Lakers, marking the second time in the past three games he has played 20 or more after averaging just 4.6 in the 20 games he appeared in from Dec. 15 through March 10.
Wesley, who gained more playing time after the Spurs declared De’Aaron Fox out for the season on March 13 due to a damaged tendon in his left pinkie, had seven points, five assists, three rebounds, two steals and a block against the Lakers.
Johnson praised Wesley for having a positive attitude and working hard during the months he wasn’t in the rotation.
“We understand the frustration,” Johnson said. “Everybody wants to play, we want to play everybody. But you kind of have to work while you wait. And he’s done that, and he’s been chomping at the bit, and it’s been fun to see him have an opportunity to get out there and mix it up and show all the work he’s been putting in.”
NBA TV drops game
The NBA announced Monday that Friday’s game between Philadelphia and the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center will no longer be televised by NBA TV.
The game will be televised locally by FanDuel Sports Network.
