The Memphis Grizzlies are looking up at Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs — and it’s not just because of Wemby’s lofty 7’4’’ height. As the NBA heads into Week 5 of the regular season, the Spurs and the Houston Rockets are both trying to stay on top of the league’s Southwest Division in the Western Conference… leaving everybody else (including Memphis) to play catch-up.
How to Watch
Watch NBA on NBC on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
As luck would have it, the Grizzlies will have a chance to do just that when they face off against the Spurs in the NBA on NBC’s early Coast 2 Coast Tuesday game this week. Though the season’s yet young, there’s plenty on the line as the Grizzlies try to ascend from their current Southwest Division standing, where a win against the Spurs could feel twice as nice.

The Grizzlies enter Week 5 with their fair share of bumps and bruises, thanks to recent injuries that have taken a bear-sized bite out of their starting lineup. Star point guard Ja Morant has been listed as day-to-day since injuring his ankle in a November 11 road loss against the New York Knicks, while other starters, including Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Zach Edey, have been either day-to-day or out altogether.
San Antonio, meanwhile, has remained relatively healthy as center Victor Wembanyama continues to lead the Spurs — not only in scoring, but in blocks and rebounds to boot. Tuesday’s Grizzlies vs. Spurs matchup marks the first of the two teams’ four scheduled regular-season games this season as Western Conference rivals, leaving plenty of time as the season rolls along for this week’s winner (and loser) to polish their playoff résumé within the NBA’s Southwest Division.
