Furthermore, it will interest you to note that in his last eight games for the Spurs, he has averaged 24.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.4 blocks for a struggling Spurs team. One can only wonder, what a PRIME Wemby would be like.
Interestingly, Wemby and the Spurs have won back-to-back home games with the last victory being the impressive 132-118 win over the Western Conference number-one seed, the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s fair to say that the 2023 NBA number-one pick has been the shining light in what has become a season to forget for the San Antonio Spurs.
