圣安东尼奥马刺队的达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) (4号) 在队友维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1号) 被判进攻犯规后与他击掌。摄于2025年11月14日，周五，圣安东尼奥霜冻银行中心的一场NBA杯比赛第一节。
在周日对阵萨克拉门托国王队之前，马刺队因伤将维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 列入缺阵名单，这是他本赛季首次缺席比赛。
马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在赛前新闻发布会上表示，文班亚马因左小腿肌肉紧张将不会出战对阵国王队的比赛。
“很显然，我们最近在联盟里已经看到，小腿紧张这类问题绝不能掉以轻心，”约翰逊说。“所以，我们必须获取更多信息，不想在这方面冒险。”
这位身高7英尺4英寸的全明星中锋是在周六被列入伤病报告的。此前一天，在球队以108-109惜败于金州勇士队的比赛中，他出战38分钟，贡献了26分、12个篮板、4次助攻和3次封盖。
当被问及伤势是何时发生时，约翰逊回答说：“我认为这只是他自己感觉到的，并非发生在某个特定的回合。”
上赛季最后两个月，文班亚马因右肩出现血凝块而缺阵，但在周日的比赛之前，他本赛季一直保持全勤。
作为2023年的状元秀，这位21岁的法国球员已经进入联盟的第三个赛季。本赛季至今，他场均出战34.7分钟，能够贡献26.2分、12.9个篮板、4.0次助攻、1.1次抢断以及领跑全联盟的3.6次封盖。
文班亚马缺阵后，马刺队将由卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 顶替首发。科内特本赛季作为替补场均出战22.0分钟，得到9.6分、5.6个篮板、2.0次助攻和近1次封盖。文班亚马的受伤也可能意味着凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 会获得更多出场时间。
由于在文班亚马身后缺乏阵容深度，马刺队签下了身高7英尺1英寸、前波士顿凯尔特人队球员科内特，合同为期四年，价值4100万美元。
“(马刺队总经理) 布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 做得非常出色，他看到了科内特与维克托搭档的潜在契合度，也看到了当维克托不在场时科内特与球队的契合度，”约翰逊说。“所以，我认为当你拥有一个具备这种能力的球员时——即便他们实现目标的方式可能不同，但他们都拥有身高和护筐能力——这非常契合我们的打法，以及我们希望打造的篮球风格。因此，在这方面不会有太大改变。”
“显然，场面看起来可能会有些不同，但我们不必改变自己的比赛风格。”
周日的比赛是马刺队（目前战绩8胜4负）连续五个主场中的第三场。在连续两次输给勇士队后，他们以西部第五的排名进入本场比赛。
约翰逊还更新了新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的左小腿拉伤情况，称他正在“取得进展”，并且在11月2日对阵菲尼克斯太阳队的比赛中受伤后，现在已不再需要穿保护靴。
“他的情况越来越好，很快就能看到他回到场上，逐步提升训练强度，这会是件好事，”约翰逊说。
尚帕尼带伤作战
马刺队前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在周五晚将自己连续出场的纪录延长到了115场，但这并非易事。
“那（该死的）伤可真疼，”他谈到两天前对阵金州勇士队时遭遇的臀部挫伤时说道，那次受伤曾导致马刺队将他列为出战成疑。
在那场108-109的失利中，尚帕尼带伤作战，替补出场23分钟，命中4记三分球，得到14分，为马刺队替补球员中的最高分。
“我要打满全部82场比赛，”这位24岁的纽约人说道。
上赛季，尚帕尼是马刺队仅有的两名全勤球员之一。另一位是前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)，他在周五将自己的“铁人”纪录扩大到了连续出场316场。
纽约尼克斯队的马利克·布里奇斯 (Malik Bridges) 以568场是目前唯一一位连续出场纪录比他更长的球员。
巴恩斯的连续出场纪录及其背后的故事得到了广泛报道，这在一定程度上掩盖了尚帕尼的坚韧。
“这可能是一件被大家过分忽视的事情，”约翰逊谈到尚帕尼的连续出场纪录时说。“他的可出战性、可靠性和可信赖性——他在很多方面都为我们做到了这些。”
周五早上的投篮训练时，尚帕尼就知道自己的纪录岌岌可危。
“今天早上它（臀部）就很疼了，”他在周五赛后说道。“昨天也很疼，所以我告诉医生：我有没有可能需要缺席这场比赛？（他们说），‘我们再看看。’但他们为我做了很好的治疗。我认为我也做得很好，充分利用了休息日，专注于让伤处感觉好一些。”
当尚帕尼离开霜冻银行中心时，他仍然感到疼痛，但他有信心在周日下午对阵萨克拉门托的比赛中披挂上阵。
“如果我靠着一个半残的臀部都能打出那样的表现，那我肯定没问题，”他评价自己周五晚上的表现时说。
尚帕尼表示，休息一天就意味着辜负队友。
“无论你是打篮球，还是做一份朝九晚五的工作，总会有那么些天你醒来会想，‘我今天不想干了，但这是我的工作’，”他谈到自己的蓝领心态时说。“更衣室里的所有人都指望着我们，指望着我。我们每个人都相互依赖，所以如果你觉得能坚持下去，就必须坚持。因为当季后赛和那些关键比赛来临时，我们希望能迸发出力量。”
科尔盛赞约翰逊
鉴于过去曾在美国男篮共事的经历，科尔和约翰逊建立了深厚的友谊。
“我是米奇的铁杆粉丝，”科尔说。“首先，他是个非常好的人。他是那种你愿意为之挺身而出、愿意与之共事的人。他非常谦逊、非常聪明，是一个富有团队精神、渴望成为集体一份子的人。考虑到他在这支一流球队中师从波波维奇的经历，我认为他是（接替波波维奇的）绝佳人选。”
科尔还提到，作为前西雅图超音速队前锋约翰·约翰逊 (John Johnson) 的儿子，约翰逊与NBA有着一生的渊源。科尔说，勇士队同样欣赏约翰逊，因为他作为斯坦福大学的校友，与湾区也有着紧密的联系。
“我认为他干得非常出色，”科尔说。
NBC将全美直播马刺对阵灰熊的比赛
据周五宣布的消息，马刺队将于周二晚7点在霜冻银行中心主场迎战孟菲斯灰熊队的比赛，将改由NBC和Peacock平台进行全美直播。
本场比赛将不再由Fan Duel体育网播出。未来将有一场额外的马刺队比赛被加入Fan Duel体育网的转播计划中，具体日期待定。
据一位电视台发言人透露，这将是自2002年5月12日西部半决赛第四场以来，马刺队的比赛首次在NBC播出。在那场比赛中，他们以85-87不敌洛杉矶湖人队。

Spurs rule out Victor Wembanyama with calf injury
San Antonio Spurs’ De’Aaron Fox (4) slaps hands with teammate Victor Wembanyama (1) after an offensive foul was called on Wembanyama during the first quarter of an NBA Cup game at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Friday, Nov. 14, 2025.
Victor Wembanyama missed his first game of the season after the Spurs ruled him out with an injury before they faced Sacramento on Sunday.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said in his pre-game news conference Wembanyama would not play against the Kings due to a tight left calf.
“Obviously, we’ve seen around this league recently that the calf tightness thing is not something you want to take lightly,” Johnson said. “So, just got to get some more information. Don’t want to push it there.”
The 7-foot-4 All-Star center popped up on the injury report Saturday, a day after he had 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 38 minutes in a 109-108 loss to Golden State.
“I think it was something he just felt,” Johnson said when asked when the injury occurred. “I don’t think there was a specific play.”
Wembanyama missed the last two months of last season with a blood clot in his right shoulder, but he’s played in every game this season until Sunday.
In his third season after entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2023, the 21-year-old Frenchman is averaging 34.7 minutes, 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, an NBA-best 3.6 blocks and 1.1 steals in his third year in the league.
With Wembanyama out, the Spurs will start Luke Kornet, who is averaging 22.0 minutes off the bench, 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and nearly one block. Wembanyama’s injury could also mean more playing time for Kelly Olynyk.
Lacking depth behind Wembanyama, the Spurs signed the 7-1 Kornet, formerly a Boston Celtic, to a four-year, $41 million contract.
“(Spurs general manager) Brian (Wright) did a great job of seeing a potential fit with (Kornet playing alongside) Victor and then also with our team when Victor wasn’t on the court,” Johnson said. "So, I think when you have somebody with that ability and some of the similarities even they go about it probably in a different way, but with size, rim protection, it fits our style of play and a lot of the brand basketball we want to do. So, there won’t be a ton of change in that regard.
“Obviously it may look a little different, but we don’t have to alter our style play.”
Sunday’s game is the third in a five-game homestand for the Spurs (8-4). They entered the game ranked fifth in the Western Conference standings after losing two in a row to the Warriors.
Johnson also offered an update on rookie Dylan Harper’s left calf strain, saying he is “progressing” and no longer has to wear a walking boot after suffering the injury in a game against Phoenix on Nov. 2.
“It’s getting better and it’ll be good to have him back on the court ramping up here pretty soon,” Johnson said.
Champagnie fights through pain
Spurs forward Julian Champagnie extended his consecutive games played streak to 115 Friday night, but it wasn’t easy.
“That (expletive) hurt,” he said of a bruised hip he suffered against Golden State two nights earlier that forced the Spurs to list him on the injury report as questionable.
Champagnie fought through the pain to hit four shots from 3-point range on his way to 14 points in 23 minutes off the bench, the most of any of the Spurs reserves, in the 109-108 loss.
“I’m going to play all 82,” the 24-year-old New York City native.
Last season, Champagnie was one of two Spurs players who didn’t miss a game. The other one, forward Harrison Barnes, extended his iron man streak to 316 consecutive appearances Friday.
The New York Knicks’ Malik Bridges at 568 is the only current player with a longer run.
Barnes’ streak and all that goes into it has been well documented, overshadowing Champagnie’s grit.
“It’s something that probably gets overlooked too much by everybody,” Johnson of Champagnie’s streak. “Just availability, reliability, dependability — and he’s been that for us in a lot of different ways.”
Friday morning at shootaround, Champagnie knew his streak was in jeopardy.
“It was hurting this morning,” he said of his hip after Friday’s game. “It was hurting yesterday, so I told the doctors: Is it a possibility I might have to sit this one out? (They said), ‘We’ll see.’ But they did a great job with me. I think I did a good job of just taking my off day and really just focusing on getting this to feel better.”
Champagnie continued to experience pain as he left the Frost Bank Center, but he was confident he would suit up Sunday afternoon against Sacramento.
“If I could play like that off a half-working hip, then I’ll be okay,” he said of his performance Friday night.
Champagnie said to take a day off would be letting his teammates down.
"If you play basketball or if you work at a nine-to-five job, there’s days where you get up and you’re like, I don’t want to do this today, but it’s my job,’ " he said of his blue-collar mentality. “All these guys (in the locker room) are counting on us, counting on me. We’re all counting on everybody, so if you feel like you could push through it, you push through it. Because when the playoffs come and those crunch-time games come, we want to be able to muster up some strength.”
Kerr a fan of Johnson
Given their time together in the past working with USA Basketball, Kerr and Johnson have formed a bond.
“Huge fan of Mitch,” Kerr said. “He’s just a really good person, number one. He’s someone you want to go to bat for, someone you want to work with. Very humble, very smart team guy who wants to be part of something, and I think he was a great choice (to succeed Popovich) given his experience here under Pop with this first organization.”
Kerr also noted Johnson’s lifelong connection to the NBA as the son of fomer Seattle SuperSonics forward John Johnson. Kerr said the Warriors are also fans of Johnson because of his connection to the Bay Area as a Stanford alumnus.
“I think he’s doing a great job,” Kerr said.
NBC to air Memphis game
It was announced Friday the Spurs game with Memphis at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Frost Bank Center will now be televised nationally on NBC and Peacock.
The game will no longer air on Fan Duel Sports Network. An additional Spurs game will be added to Fan Duel Sports Network’s broadcast schedule and announced at a later date.
The game will mark the Spurs’ first on NBC since Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Semifinals on May 12, 2002, where they fell to the Lakers, 87-85, according to a network spokesperson.
