Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs handed Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets a 121–110 loss on Friday night, snapping Houston's five-game win streak.

The post Rockets news: Steven Adams’ NBA Cup injury update isn’t a welcome sign vs. Wemby, Spurs appeared first on ClutchPoints.

Victor Wembanyama desperately needs better point guard play around him if he's going to improve the Spurs offense.

Amen Thompson led the way for Houston in Wednesday’s victory as he ended the game with 28 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists while Alperen Sengun added 20 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists of his own.

The Spurs are missing De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Luke Kornet for this NBA Cup clash, and that gives the Rockets the edge in talent and depth. Houston is 8-2 SU in its last 10 outings against San Antonio, and I expect the visitors to hand Wemby and Co. their first home loss of the season.

Fox has been struggling with a hamstring injury since the summer, and had missed all of the 5-2 Spurs' prior regular season contests. His return is well-timed, as rookie point guard Dylan Harper incurred a hamstring strain earlier this week and is expected to be on the shelf for several weeks.

As I relayed in Dribbles, Wednesday looked like the Cavaliers again. Darius Garland finally returned after toe surgery and Cleveland put 132 on the board in a win over the Sixers.

Voters in the San Antonio area signed off on using public financing for a new downtown arena for the National Basketball Association’s Spurs team.
