Why the San Antonio Spurs’ loss vs. Suns will help
San Antonio Spurs suffer their first loss after a perfect 5-0 start. But was this defeat exactly what the young team needed?
San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama endured one of his worst performances with just nine points as Phoenix’s physical defense neutralized the star center. Stephon Castle stepped up with 26 points and provided mature leadership, acknowledging the team needed this wake-up call.
Host Jeff Garcia and guest Rudy Campos from The Sports Answer break down whether the Spurs were playing with fire during their winning streak, examining close calls against Brooklyn and Miami that finally caught up to them.
The discussion covers Dylan Harper’s calf injury, the team’s inconsistent three-point shooting despite ranking 10th in the league, and how the coaching staff will adjust their strategy to get Wembanyama better looks.

The only thing on wembys mind Sunday was Wednesday vs lakers!!!
Wemby being held to 9 points by a lowly Phoenix squad is wild.
Wemby had a very bad game I'll give him the benefit of the doubt…but our guys need to hit shots also…that will help wemby…whoever thought we was going 82 n 0 is delusional…I expected this to happen with the lakers tho not phoenix…we all over looked them…Bismack is awful we need kornet and fox back asap.
By the optics, Wemby appeared LAZY. The only players who came with energy were Castle and KJ. Other than that, everyone else looked abysmal and lazy. Even Steph said it in his presser.
Harper supposedly has a mild calf strain. Calf strains can turn into Achilles tears if you push them so I expect Harper to miss 4 to 6 weeks.
Fox needs to go if Fox is ready. We don't have a pg right now except McLaughlin who is 3rd string quality at best
