Southwest notes: Missi's scare, Clayton's chance, Spurs' 0-2 start

Yves Missi suffered only a bone bruise in his left knee, far less serious than the scare when he was carried off after colliding with Zion Williamson; he had just posted 13 points and 14 rebounds in 30 minutes, and Jamahl Mosley keeps touting him for Defensive Player of the Year.

Nova Orleans pode respirar: Yves Missi, o pivô titular, tem uma lesão no joelho esquerdo muito menos grave do que parecia quando foi retirado de maca na sexta-feira após colidir com Zion Williamson. Uma ressonância magnética mostrou uma contusão óssea, e o técnico Jamahl Mosley dividiu o alívio com o grupo na sessão de vídeo de 24 de outubro.

O pivô de terceiro ano havia acabado de fazer 13 pontos, 14 rebotes, três tocos e dois roubos em 30 minutos contra o Indiana, depois de uma boa pré-temporada, e Mosley segue defendendo seu nome para Melhor Defensor do Ano. "Achei o Yves incrível", disse o técnico. "Absolutamente incrível. Tudo o que falamos sobre quem ele é e o que faz foi exatamente o que ele mostrou."

Nenhum prazo foi definido. Até ele voltar, Mosley planeja dividir os minutos entre Derik Queen, Karlo Matkovic e DeAndre Jordan. "Temos um elenco talentoso. Ele é ainda mais talentoso quando está conectado", disse.

Em outra parte da divisão, Walter Clayton já está no terceiro time na segunda temporada de NBA e está empolgado com Dallas. Dispensado pelo Memphis, ele assinou um contrato de duas vias na quarta-feira, escolhendo os Mavericks em vez de vários pretendentes. "Acho que podemos construir algo especial aqui", disse.

O Houston acredita que os reforços de verão mais os retornos de Fred VanVleet e Steven Adams o tornam candidato no Oeste, com Ime Udoka empurrando um ritmo mais rápido e mais variedade de formações. "Temos muitas armas e escalações diferentes neste ano", disse VanVleet.

O San Antonio, em 0-2, procura respostas. A nova formação de três armadores com De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle e Dylan Harper ficou em -11 em 11 minutos na derrota de sexta para o Houston, o ataque ainda depende de Victor Wembanyama, cujo arremesso o abandonou, e há pouca bola de três além de Devin Vassell e Julian Champagnie.
