Though it was expected, not having Victor Wembanyama Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies is going to make breaking that skid even tougher. Wembanyama has missed the Spurs' last five games after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

Crushing news came out of San Antonio earlier Thursday, as it was announced that All-Star center Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the remainder of the season
