Jeremy Sochan showed his strengths and provided a spark for the Spurs against the Grizzlies, but he also showed one reason he's fallen out of the rotation. Has he earned more playing time? Or will San Antonio look to move on at the trade deadline?

Victor Wembanyama came back from his knee injury and crammed as many highlights into 21 minutes as he could, but San Antonio held him out down the stretch as the cold-shooting Spurs suffered another disappointing loss.

San Antonio blasted Jay-Z before facing the New York Knicks, a fitting soundtrack for Victor Wembanyama and Julian Champagnie as they navigate the confidence in their newfound success and the work necessary to maintain it.

Wemby did not travel to Indiana with the San Antonio Spurs for their game against the Pacers, but multiple reports indicate that he avoided major injury when he hyperextended his left knee.
