Spurs trade for De`Aaron Fox but lose to Grizzlies, with Wembanyama leading the team in scoring.

San Antonio Spurs made headlines by finalizing a three-team trade with the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls, acquiring De`Aaron Fox. This strategic move aims to pair Fox, a dynamic offensive player, with franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama, creating one of the most promising duos in the NBA. Fox`s desire to join the Spurs aligns perfectly with the team`s ambitions to enhance their playoff prospects in the latter half of the season.

Despite the excitement surrounding Fox`s arrival, the Spurs were unable to secure a victory, losing to the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies, who played without their star point guard Ja Morant due to a shoulder injury, managed to establish a 12-point lead by halftime, ending the first half at 61-49. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 21 points, while Ja Morant contributed 17 points and GG Jackson added 10 points.

For the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama was the standout performer, scoring 14 points, with Stephon Castle contributing 12 points. The Grizzlies maintained their strong form, solidifying their position among the top teams in the Western Conference standings. Currently, the Spurs hold a record of 21-25 overall and 8-12 on the road, while the Grizzlies boast an impressive 33-16 overall record and a remarkable 20-5 at home.
