SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will return to the starting lineup Saturday night against the Utah Jazz, but point guard De'Aaron Fox will miss the game after experiencing tightness in his left adductor. Wembanyama has come off the bench in seven straight games since returning from a strained left calf that kept him out for 12 games.
SAN ANTONIO -- De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points in his season debut, Victor Wembanyama added 18 points and 18 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs beat the New Orleans Pelicans 126-119 on Saturday night. Stephon Castle added 14 points and 14 assists as San Antonio won its second straight after two straight losses following a franchise-best 5-0 start.
"I definitely won't be playing in the preseason, that's for sure," Fox said. "I don't think I'll be ready for opening night. But we're going to play it by ear. I feel like I can play right now. But I don't have that [medical] expertise. I'm not going to lie to you: I was running 15 miles per hour already [on a treadmill]. I think that's probably faster than most of the guys that are here. So, when I say I think I'm ready, I for real think I'm ready."
