The Spurs lost to the Pelicans 109-103, despite Wembanyama`s strong performance, complicating their NBA standings.

The San Antonio Spurs faced another setback, losing to the New Orleans Pelicans 109-103 at the Smoothie King Center. This defeat marks the second consecutive loss for the Spurs against the Pelicans, who capitalized on San Antonio`s inability to maintain a significant lead. The game attracted an audience of 16,767 fans, showcasing the competitive spirit of the matchup.

Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with an impressive double-double, scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, while also contributing 3 assists and 3 blocks. Despite his standout performance, the Spurs could not secure the win. De`Aaron Fox added 22 points and 7 assists, but the team`s struggles in closing out games ultimately cost them the victory.

This loss further complicates the Spurs` position in the NBA standings as they continue to navigate a challenging 2024-25 season. Additionally, Charles Bassey is listed as questionable for their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets due to a left knee bone bruise, which could impact the team`s depth in the frontcourt. The Spurs must address their late-game execution to improve their chances in the competitive Western Conference.
