After firing their head coach towards the end of last season, it’s been a rough start for the Memphis Grizzlies, who take on the Spurs Tuesday night.
Memphis also suspended starting point guard Ja Morant for a game earlier this season due to conduct detrimental to the team. To compound matters, Morant was recently sidelined by a Grade 1 right calf strain, an injury all too familiar to Spurs fans.
Both Dylan Harper and Victor Wembanyama were diagnosed with left calf strains in November, with Harper expected to return to action sooner.
When the teams squared off in San Antonio last month, De’Aaron Fox led all scorers with 26 points in a 101-111 Spurs win. Veteran Harrison Barnes turned back the clock with 23 points, a dozen from beyond the arc. After the game, Fox addressed the team’s defensive philosophy.
“We’re working,” he told reporters. “Obviously we want to have our foundation, our base, and then when Vic is playing, it just enhances what we do. Regardless if he’s out there or not, we want to still have our principles.”
$24 and up, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2, Frost Bank Center, 1 Frost Bank Center Drive, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com, Fanduel Sports Network-Southwest.
