San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are back in action at home against the Miami Heat in the second game of the preseason.

The Spurs last played on Monday in a 122-121 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road, but there's hope that results will change with tonight's game. The Heat are playing without majority of their main rotation, including Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry.

The Spurs are set to play with a majority of their players, but the team may be without Keldon Johnson, who sat out of Monday's game with "general soreness."

It is still the preseason, so this game won't mean much for long, but it's important for a young team like the Spurs to build confidence and chemistry with each other, especially considering how the team revolves around Victor Wembanyama.

Wemby shined in his debut on Monday, who scored 20 points against the Thunder in the preseason opener. He'll look to build off that performance tonight against the Heat.
