Latest news and updates about the Spurs
The postseason has been tough for Keldon Johnson. Ever since winning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, he’s struggled to maintain the vitality that earned him the league honor. This season the Spurs had seven players average scoring in double figures. *Harrison Barnes was 5 points from the Spurs having eight players in double figs, […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Game 5 in San Antonio with a chance to retake control of their Western Conference Semifinals series. A win would have snatched back home-court advantage, put the Spurs on the brink of elimination, and set up a Friday night closeout opportunity at Target Center. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Instead, Minnesota […]
Three down and one more to go until the Western Conference Finals. Victor Wembanyama made amends for getting ejected two nights earlier with his rampage in the pivotal fifth game of the series against Minnesota. The team’s 3-point shooting also helped them race out to an early lead and control of the boards assisted in […]

The Spurs will have Victor Wembanyama back for a pivotal Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he avoided suspension for a Game 4 flagrant foul, but the Spurs’ guard rotation could be shorthanded. De’Aaron Fox was already listed as questionable on yesterday’s injury report with a sore ankle after Ayo Dosunmo rolled up on […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs schedule features just one game today, a matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves. NBA Santa left coal in San Antonio’s stocking on Sunday. Instead of their usual Top-4 pick in the league’s annual Spursmas celebration (a.k.a. the NBA Draft Lottery), the club got an ejection for star center […]
Plenty of critiques are coming at the Portland Trail Blazers following their 42-40 regular season and first-round exit against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. Most analysts see Portland’s roster as promising, with a few deep flaws. 98% of those have to do with scoring. The Blazers can defend when they want […]
Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio SpursDate: May 12th, 2026Time: 7:00 PM CDTLocation: Frost Bank CenterTelevision Coverage: NBC, Peacock After four games of chaos, blood pressure spikes, blown opportunities, sudden reversals, superstar theater, and at least one officiating decision that will be discussed in San Antonio like it was the Zapruder film, the Minnesota Timberwolves and […]
I have a confession. I am obsessed with the Spurs. How many of you know exactly what I’m talking about? My Twitter feed is Spurs- Spurs players, Spurs journalists, Spurs fans, the Jackals, even former Silver Dancers, and some other sports and NBA outlets and pundits. My Facebook feed is constantly populated by Spurs Sixth […]
The San Antonio Spurs did what they needed to do in Minnesota. The Spurs reclaimed home-court advantage with a win in Game Three. After losing a winnable Game Four, 114-109, the Spurs will head back to San Antonio to defend their home court and re-take a series lead. Game Five will be one of intrigue […]
There’s this great trick that Francis Ford Coppolla pulls at the beginning of The Godfather, where he opts to forgo having a narrator and/or title cards to explain the story. It’s a very purposeful move, motivated partly (I suspect) by the popularity of Mario Puzo’s novel. The original novel was quite the financial success it […]

Game 4 was a must-win for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was true coming into the night with the Wolves down 2-1 in the series, and certainly became true after Victor Wembanyama launched an elbow at the neck of Naz Reid and ejected the San Antonio Spurs’ best player from the game with a Flagrant Two […]
The disrespect continues for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the Timberwolves clawed back to even their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs at two games apiece, the latest NBA title odds dropped, and Minnesota somehow ended up with the longest odds of any remotely viable contender left standing. I’m excluding the Lakers who […]
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Game 4 of the Spurs’ second-round NBA Playoffs series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Wembanyama got tossed early in the second quarter for throwing an elbow at Minnesota center Naz Reid after a lock-up while chasing a rebound. Wembanyama’s swing was clearly targeted, retaliation for […]
I will attempt to refrain from commenting too much on the play that defined last night’s game and will instead try to focus on the optimistic fact that this young and inexperienced Spurs team very nearly scored a road playoff win against a very good (and extremely desperate) opponent without the support of their best […]
What a game! I kind of inexplicably blacked out 12 minutes into the game and gained consciousness a few moments later to watch the rest of the entertaining wrestling match/basketball game trying to piece together what happened like in the movie Memento. You, fellow readers, get the pleasure of going with me on this journey […]
Sunday evening’s Game 4 in Minneapolis did not go as planned for the San Antonio Spurs. With 8:39 left in the second quarter, Wemby was ejected when his right elbow hit Reid’s throat. Forgetting for a second that, had it been any other player, the elbow would have landed on Reid’s chest, the foul represents a […]
The Western Conference Semifinals between the Spurs and the Timberwolves keeps providing memorable matchups. On Sunday, Victor Wembanyama’s first-half ejection threatened to create a throwaway game, but the Silver and Black responded without their best player and battled to the very end before losing a heartbreaker, 114-109. The series will move back to San Antonio […]
What did Sunday night’s Game 5 win take for the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Some heart,” Rudy Gobert said to the Target Center crowd after the madness had ended. Where do we even start? Perhaps the part where this should have been less close than it ended up as, with a sharp elbow to the face? With […]
Early in the second quarter tonight, Victor Wembanyama, who was being manhandled by multiple players every time he entered the game, tried to spin his way out of a double bear hug from a couple of Wolves, and caught Naz Reid hard on the neck with an elbow. The referees called this a flagrant foul […]
You know the drill, this is part four of our “Fraternizing with the Enemy” Series with our Spurs sister site, Pounding the Rock. I am joined by the ever-encouraging JR Wilco to discuss the things we saw in Game 3’s close loss and to set expectations for a critical Game 4 after back to back […]
