Any potential Spurs bettors out there had better be aware that Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. This was discovered upon his return from the all star break. Horrible news for the Spurs, or maybe good news for their draft prospects. This is why players don't take the all star break seriously. Losing the rest of your season isn't worth whatever fun they have for a weekend. Hopefully he uses this time to get stronger and hopefully he can avoid injuries like this in the future. At least it wasn't his knees.
That was such a crazy blow to the young lad and the entire Spurs franchise, their season was looking really great from where they were last season and all of a sudden they lost their biggest piece for the rest of the season, and this also rules out Wemby contention for DPOY, an award which I think hes the standout player to win it, I wish him speedy recovery and hope he comes back even stronger.
It was really a big blow for the Spurs to hear that Wemby had a season ending injury. For sure fans are going to be hurt to see him missed the remainder of the games this season as there are still plenty. It is said that it was deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. And it was the reason why he doesn't have the energy in the All star.
Talking about betting and the spread, the Phoenix Suns are still barely the favorites with just a -2.5 line, I think that could be as a result of Devin Booker also being a doubt for the game, if Booker is available, then Id definitely fancy the Suns getting the W here, and I might just go for it.
I'm looking at the odds and it's now -1.5 for the Suns. In any case though, they still have KD, while they have to look for someone for the Spurs to score to bring the void that Wemby will cause to the team.
