@JahlilWill: "I know Wembanyama is under the weather, so I hope he gets some rest tonight and feels better tomorrow. A game against Utah with him in the lineup may be just what the doctor ordered."

@IrRashonalSport: "Honestly more a reflection of the Spurs as a whole tonight than just him. The Thunder dominated and exposed ALL of the Spurs weaknesses at once. Not worried at all and this loss might actually be a stepping stone."
