Spurs Fiesta 5: LeBron Teaming Up with Victor Wembanyama?

Inside The Spurs identifies five of the biggest NBA storylines in addition to relevant San Antonio Spurs news and analysis.

1. WEMBY x LEBRON?

"Future San Antonio Spurs big man, Victor Wembanyama, is the most highly anticipated prospect since franchise rival LeBron James, but there’s a possibility the two could play together, forming a duo of "Chosen Ones."

2. BEST CASE SCENARIO

""That culture they have within the Spurs, they don't get in trouble there," Rivers said on "The Ringer NBA Show". "They don't allow it. You saw what happened with [Josh] Primo. He pulled some s*** a couple of times and they got his ass out of there. This is perfect for Victor. Best case scenario for the NBA."

3. NUGGETS = 2014 SPURS?

"Denver has shown a level of dominance this season that has yet to be matched by any team in this year's NBA, but while no 2023 team has found a way to slow down the Nuggets, a certain 2014 team might have been able to."

4. CELTICS VS. HEAT GAME 4

"Despite Jayson Tatum’s best efforts to get his Celtics going throughout the game, the Heat came away with the win by blowing out the Celtics, ultimately getting a 26-point win."

Now, the Celtics face elimination against the Heat tonight in Miami. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CST.

5. DRAFT COUNTDOWN

The San Antonio Spurs are 30 days away from the 2023 NBA Draft, where Victor Wembanyama will officially become the newest member of the franchise with the No. 1 overall pick.

Coverage begins on Thursday, June 22 at 7 p.m. CST on ESPN.
