San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are a professional basketball team competing in the NBA. They recently gained attention for their performance in the inaugural NBA Cup tournament in December 2025. Led by Victor Wembanyama, who returned from a calf injury, the Spurs upset the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder to advance to the NBA Cup final. Wembanyama scored 22 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, to secure the victory. However, in the final, the Spurs were defeated by the New York Knicks, who ended a 52-year trophy drought with a 124-113 win. Despite the loss, the Spurs' strong showing in the NBA Cup, particularly Wembanyama's performance, highlights their growing competitiveness and potential for future success.
