"On a two-game skid, San Antonio received a much-needed two-day break with star Victor Wembanyama listed as day-to-day due to a right knee contusion. Wembanyama's injury isn't considered serious, but he sat out Tuesday's victory against Oklahoma City. Second-leading scorer Devin Vassell is back in the lineup but coming off the bench for "the foreseeable future," according to interim coach Mitch Johnson. Rookie guard Stephon Castle has been a revelation on both ends, and veteran Chris Paul has dished nine-plus assists in five of his past six appearances."
