Spurs' Victor Wembanyama with several question marks above his head

The San Antonio Spurs have faced a series of tough losses in the 2023-24 season, with their latest defeat possibly being the worst yet. The Memphis Grizzlies, who were already without Ja Morant due to a suspension, were missing multiple players due to injuries. Despite this, they still managed to secure a 120-108 victory over the Spurs, who have now suffered eight consecutive defeats. The Spurs have attributed their struggles to their youthful and inexperienced roster, with Victor Wembanyama being a prime example. In an interview with ClutchPoints, Wembanyama discussed the team’s current losing streak, his growth throughout the season, and how teams are approaching him on the court.
