The rivalry is starting I think
Victor is best play
Do we think Wemby’s minute restriction has more to do with Blood clot or Calf, not saying he has clot but the preventing it from reoccurring
I have a sneaky suspicion it is more to prevent reoccurring or preventing of DVT vs Calf.. But I hope it is just calf awareness
Happy Holidays to everyone
Has it been released if Wemby will play?
It's the Spurs time to shine. The spot light will be on them for sure this week.
They'll probably win tonight's game and drop the Christmas game OKC coming off a game last night
Plz Wemby play
