SAN ANTONIO — At long last, the final road trip of the season for the San Antonio Spurs kicks off Sunday evening.

With only five games remaining in the regular season, San Antonio remains in contention for the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, but its chances are slim-to-none as it still sits several games behind the No. 10-seeded Sacramento Kings. The Portland Trail Blazers, however, have a chance to creep closer on the Phoenix Suns on their final stretch.

Beyond their three two-way players, the Spurs will be without Jeremy Sochan, who is still recovering from lower back spasms he suffered ahead of last Tuesday's Orlando Magic game; De'Aaron Fox, who underwent surgery to repair ligament damage in his left fifth finger; and Victor Wembanyama, who has been sidelined since Feb. 20 with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

Wembanyama appeared in 46 games this season, averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds and a league-leading 3.8 blocks per game on 47 percent shooting from the field. He was on pace for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, a spot on 1-of-3 All-NBA squads and potentially the league's Most Improved Player of the Year Award, but now falls short of the newly required 65-game threshold.
