San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are back in action in the preseason as they host the Houston Rockets on Monday night at Frost Bank Center.

The Spurs are coming off a win at home against the Miami Heat on Friday, and the team hopes it can continue to improve ahead of its season opener on Wednesday, October 25 against the Dallas Mavericks.

Tonight, the Spurs will be without Victor Wembanyama, who has dazzled so far as the No. 1 overall pick. The game against the Rockets tonight will be a good test for the Spurs to operate on nights where Wemby may be resting or injured, which could pop up during the season. San Antonio will also be without Devin Vassell and Tre Jones, who are resting.

For the Rockets, 2021 No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green is missing tonight's game with a toenail issue ... file that under bizarre injury report entries.

Keldon Johnson is set to make his preseason debut after missing the first two preseason games with a hamstring injury.

Here's everything you need to know for tonight's game ...
