In this story:

San Antonio Spurs

1. WEMBY STRUGGLES IN DEBUT "It's very easy to look at this game and feel a little disappointed. Wembanyama is a generational prospect and looked far from it, but it is just one Summer League game and there's still plenty of basketball left to be played by the No. 1 overall pick in Las Vegas and beyond."

2. BRITNEY VS. WEMBY ENDS According to the Associated Press, no charges will be filed in the altercation. ... as our own Mike Fisher predicted would be the case in a Thursday evening appearance on the Dan Abrams TV show.

3. VIC'S STORY BEGINS "Tears welling in his eyes, Wembanyama made his way from his seat to the stage, where Silver was waiting to shake his size-able hand. The 19-year-old took it all in, greeting his close friends and family with a hug each — not a care in the world for how long it took him."

4. RICE BLESSED "Dreams just came true in front of me," Rice said. "I'm not big on wanting to be satisfied, but I'm just very blessed. I thank God for the opportunity and I'm just excited to get to work."

5. SPURS NEXT GAME Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs return to action Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN2.
