Spurs Hit 60 Wins For First Time Since 2017 — Wemby Injury Scare

The San Antonio Spurs are officially back. A 115-102 win over the 76ers gave them 60 wins for the first time since the 2016-17 Kawhi Leonard era — and they did it in the most Spurs way possible: by surviving adversity.

Victor Wembanyama left in the second quarter with a rib contusion that had the entire fanbase holding its breath. But Stephon Castle stepped up huge with a 19-point, 10-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, and Dylan Harper added 17 off the bench. The Spurs have gone 21-3 since the All-Star break and are breathing down OKC's neck, just three games back for the West's top seed.

The Wemby injury looks minor — the team called it a contusion, not a fracture — but with the playoffs days away, every rib matters when you're chasing a championship. This Spurs team isn't just good. They're historically good.
