Well, I’ll be... the Portland Trail Blazers get to play a team with a worse record than them! The Blazers will wrap their four-game road trip by dusting off their cowboy hats to face the Spurs in San Antonio.
While nothing could possibly match the adrenaline-pumping excitement of Portland players finding a literal snake in their locker room against this very same team in the very same building during the 2014 playoffs, fans will get to see a generational player take the court for the opponent. Victor Wembanyama may “only” be averaging 20 points per game on the season, but a) he’s averaging about 26 points over the last six games, and b) he does stuff no other player in the history of the sport has done.
