In a chat with the media ahead of the Spurs' game tonight, Chris Paul opened up on the challenges his group has faced over the past few months. Paul revealed that it's been tough for the Spurs given their recent health scares involving Gregg Popovich and Victor Wembanyama.

“Victor Wembanyama had experienced low energy lately that was causing concern,” Amick reported. “When he still had low energy at All-Star weekend, and through his two-day vacation after it, the tests began that ultimately uncovered the deep vein thrombosis.”

Fans were already disappointed that they wouldn’t witness what could be an iconic clash between Victor Wembanyama and the NBA great Kevin Durant in a key Feb. 20 matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns.
