盐湖城——在周六晚马刺客场98-102不敌菲尼克斯的季前赛中，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的组织策应能力成为了球队的一大亮点。
这位身高7英尺4英寸的中锋出战22分钟，送出全队最高的6次助攻且仅有2次失误，同时贡献了13分、7个篮板和2次盖帽。
文班亚马本场投篮效率欠佳，14投仅6中（三分球5投0中），但他展现出的场上大局观却已进入了常规赛状态。
“表现非常棒，”马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在谈到文班在训练营及季前赛中的传球表现时说道。马刺将在周一晚客场挑战犹他，继续他们的季前赛征程。
文班亚马在新秀赛季场均送出3.9次助攻，二年级赛季场均3.7次，而上赛季结束时他场均有3.1次助攻入账。
“他一直都是一名出色的组织核心，”卡斯尔说，“他的球场视野非常出色。他的助攻数据可能会有波动，这取决于他的观察方式以及对手对他的防守策略。他每一场比赛面对的防守待遇都不一样。了解他的人都知道，他会在每次进攻中做出正确的阅读。我们希望他在所有这些情况下都保持默认的攻击性。”
马刺前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 表示：“每当这个大个子持球冲起来、找到队友并分球时，整个进攻空间就彻底打开了。最终这也会让他的个人进攻变得更加轻松。这一直是我们战术体系中非常重要的一部分。”
文班亚马表示，自己在休赛期的训练重点是“学着在场上观察到更多局势的变化，把比赛节奏慢下来”。
“对我来说，挑战始终在于把所有技能融会贯通，因为我学到了很多东西，每次走上球场我都想把所学应用出来，”他说，“但我认为最关键的是，只要我能够尽早并持续地进行战局评估，我就能开始把所有细节整合到一起。”
福克斯继续缺阵： 马刺全明星后卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 因主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 所说的“臀部普遍发紧”连续缺席了周六的第二场季前赛。
“并不严重，也不是长期伤病，”约翰逊在赛前表示，“很显然，我们不想操之过急。”
在周四晚季前赛揭幕战马刺116-123不敌亚特兰大的比赛中，福克斯也因球队所称的“全身酸痛”而作壁上观。
马刺二年级前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 同样遭遇了伤病困扰，他在周六的比赛中因疑似脚踝受伤而提前退场。
“我想他是踩到了（德文·瓦塞尔的）脚上，”约翰逊说，“希望他没有大碍，目前还不确定。”
在伤病方面的利好消息是，次轮秀新秀前锋马利克·布朗 (Maliq Brown) 在因背部发紧缺席季前赛揭幕战后，本场面对太阳出战10分钟，投篮3投3中（三分球2投2中）高效贡献8分和1个篮板。
此外，马刺继续让征战联盟15年的老将前锋托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris) 休战，球队在休赛期以两年3100万美元的合同签下了他。在哈里斯于训练营首周拉伤左小腿后，球队已宣布他将缺席整个季前赛。
“只要他在身边，就能立刻产生积极的影响，”约翰逊说，“我们期待他尽快归队，并且非常兴奋能看到他成为球队拼图中的一块。”
硬派新秀脱颖而出： 约翰逊非常赞赏首轮秀新秀中锋小塔里斯·里德 (Tarris Reed Jr.) 的身体对抗能力。
“你不会总能遇到乐于寻求对抗、在对抗中发挥出色甚至主动寻找身体接触的年轻球员，”约翰逊说，“他绝对就是这样的人。”
这位身高6英尺10英寸、体重270磅的前康涅狄格大学球员也给老将队友们留下了深刻印象。
“塔里斯未来在这座联盟里会打得非常好，”前锋尚帕尼说道。这位2026年NBA选秀大会的第26顺位新秀在周六的比赛中出场9分钟，4投全中拿下10分和5个篮板。
“身材魁梧，充满饥饿感，”尚帕尼补充道，“很显然，他在康涅狄格大学（大三和大四）和密歇根大学（大一和大二）打了四年。在身体对抗和拼抢硬度方面他经验丰富。塔里斯的表现让我印象深刻。”
除了强悍的身体素质，里德还有另一个独特之处：他的年龄。这位圣路易斯出生的球员现年23岁，在马刺近年来选入了诸多十几岁年轻球员的背景下显得尤为突出——这其中包括与里德同届的首轮秀、年仅19岁的前锋杰登·昆坦斯 (Jayden Quaintance)。
“在我和球队共处的另一个时期，我们选进来的全都是这帮18岁的毛头小子，”约翰逊说，“（里德）年纪稍微大一些，这很有意思。他显然经历了大学赛场的锤炼，所以有些与众不同。他在康大受到了非常严格的调教。训练营里有他真是太棒了。他是个强壮的小伙子，他在球场上展现出的自然直觉，让他完美符合我们所寻找的引援拼图。”

Victor Wembanyama’s playmaking on point in Phoenix
SALT LAKE CITY — Victor Wembanyama’s playmaking stood out as a bright spot in the Spurs’ 102-98 preseason loss at Phoenix on Saturday night.
The 7-foot-4 center had a team-high six assists against only two turnovers to go along with 13 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes.
Wembanyama shot an inefficient 6 of 14 from the field (0 of 5 from 3-point range), but his court awareness was in mid-season form.
“It’s been great,” Spurs guard Stephon Castle said of Wembanyama’s passing in training camp and the preseason, which continues against Utah on Monday night.
Wembanyama finished last season averaging 3.1 assists per game after averaging 3.9 as a rookie and 3.7 in his sophomore season.
“He’s always been a great facilitator,” Castle said. "He sees the floor well. His assist numbers could vary. It’s the way he sees the floor, the way teams guard him. He gets a different look every single game. Just knowing him, he’s going to make the right read for that possession. We want him to be default aggressive in all those situations.”
Said Spurs forward Julian Champagnie, “Whenever the big fella gets going downhill, finds guys, passes the ball, it opens the whole offense up. Eventually it opens his game up more. That’s always been a big part of our offense.”
Wembanyama said he worked during the offseason “on seeing more things happen, slowing the game down.”
“For me, the challenge is always putting everything together because I’ve learned so many things and I always step into the game, trying to apply some things,” he said. “But I think the main thing is if I assess early and continuously, that’s when I can start putting everything together.”
Fox still out: Spurs All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox missed his second straight preseason game Saturday with what coach Mitch Johnson called “general tightness in his hip.”
“Nothing serious or long term,” Johnson said before the game. "Obviously, we don’t want to push it.”
Fox also sat out the preseason-opening 123-116 loss to Atlanta on Thursday night due to what the team called “general soreness.”
Spurs second-year forward Carter Bryant is also dealing with an injury after leaving Saturday’s game early with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
“He stepped on, I believe, (Devin Vassell’s) foot," Johnson said. “I hope he’s OK. Not sure.”
In positive injury news, second-round rookie forward Maliq Brown had eight points on 3-of-3 shooting from the field (2 of 2 from 3-point range) and a rebound in 10 minutes against the Suns after missing the preseason opener with back tightness.
The Spurs also continue to sit 15-year veteran forward Tobias Harris after signing him to a two-year, $31 million deal in the offseason. The club ruled him out for the preseason after he strained his left calf during the first week of training camp
“He’s had an impact instantly just from being around,” Johnson said. "We expect him back soon and really excited to see how he can be a piece to the puzzle.”
Rugged rookie stands out: Johnson is a big fan of first-round rookie center Tarris Reed Jr.’s physical play.
“You don’t always get young guys that seek contact, that thrive or look for contact,” Johnson said. “He definitely is one of those guys.”
The 6-foot-10, 270-pound Connecticut-ex has also made an impression on his veteran teammates.
“Tarris is going to be real good in this league,” forward Julian Champagnie said after the 26th overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft finished Saturday’s game with 10 points on 4 of 4 from the field and five rebounds in nine minutes.
“Big body. He’s hungry," Champagnie added. "Obviously he went to UConn (as a junior and senior) and Michigan (as a freshman and sophomore), four years. He’s got experience with being physical and playing hard. I’m impressed with Tarris.”
In addition to his physicality, Reed has something else that makes him unique: His age. At 23, the St. Louis native stands out after the Spurs have drafted so many teens in recent years, including Reed’s fellow first-round rookie, forward Jayden Quaintance, 19.
“There was a time in a different cycle of my life here where we’d get all these 18-year-old punks,” Johnson said. "(Reed) is a little bit older, so it’s fun. He’s obviously been around the wringer of college so it’s a little bit different. He got coached really hard at UConn. He’s been great to have in camp. He’s a big young man. He does things naturally that makes him a good addition for what we’re looking for.”
