We will have to wait before seeing the first alley-oop between Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama. On Sunday, the Spurs announced that six players would remain in civilian clothes for the Thunder's reception at Frost Bank Center. They are Charles Bassey, Zach Collins, David Duke Jr., Devin Vassell, and so Chris Paul And Victor Wembanyama.
If the first four are injured or convalescing, on the other hand, for the Paul-Wembanyama tandem, it is just a matter of sparing them after a big physical load for the opening of the “training camp”. “ You can probably guess who the starters are, but I want to see how they do.”, Gregg Popovich saidabout the first week of training camp. “It’s been a tough week and I want to see how they react physically and that sort of thing. »
It's just a small setback and the Wembanyama-Paul duo should therefore be ready for the next meeting. It will still be in San Antonio for the Magic reception. On the other hand, for the other four, he should remain in civilian clothes. Notably Vassell who is expected to miss the first week of the regular season after his foot surgery. At best, he will be back around November 1st.
