Spurs Hit 60 Wins for the First Time Since 2017 — and They Did It Without Wemby

The San Antonio Spurs are a 60-win team again. They beat the 76ers 115-102 on Monday — their first 60-win season since the 2016-17 Kawhi Leonard era. The kicker? They did it without their best player for most of the game.

Victor Wembanyama left in the second quarter with a rib contusion. The MRI came back clean, but he's listed as doubtful for tonight's game against Portland. The Spurs (60-19) have already locked the #2 seed in the West, so there's zero reason to rush him back.

What makes this 60-win season different is the depth. De'Aaron Fox has been a revelation since the trade. Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper give them young legs off the bench. And Wemby — averaging 24.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks — still needs to play 20 minutes in one of the final three games to remain eligible for MVP and DPOY. Those awards feel like they're his to lose.
