The San Antonio Spurs have turned every head with their dominance throughout the 2025-26 NBA regular season. Even after their star player, Victor Wembanyama, missed several games, the team remained dominant on the court.

The Spurs finished the regular season in second place in the Western Conference, boasting an impressive 62-20 record. As they prepare for the first round of the playoffs against the Portland Trail Blazers, Wembanyama is currently not listed on the injury report. However, two players, Jordan McLaughlin and Davis Jones, are recovering from ankle issues and are noted on the injury report.

Despite their strong regular-season performance, there were concerns about the team’s ability to perform in the playoffs, as many players lack postseason experience. Wembanyama addressed these doubts with a powerful statement during a recent interview, expressing confidence in the team’s championship aspirations.
