O San Antonio Spurs, em 3-2 depois de uma sequência de três vitórias, recebe um Minnesota Timberwolves sem o seu melhor jogador nesta sexta-feira, 31 de outubro de 2026.
Anthony Edwards está fora depois de uma cirurgia no joelho quatro jogos depois do início da temporada, e Dante DiVincenzo também não joga por um problema no tendão de Aquiles; Tobias Harris está ausente no San Antonio por uma lesão na panturrilha. Minnesota está em 4-2 apesar das baixas.
Victor Wembanyama igualou o recorde pessoal com nove enterradas em cada uma das duas últimas partidas. Rudy Gobert, seu amigo e compatriota, tentará parar a sequência: na série da segunda rodada da temporada passada, Wembanyama teve médias de 19,8 pontos, 12 rebotes e quatro bloqueios, com 51% de acerto, contra Minnesota.
O Timberwolves reformulou o elenco no verão, mandando o sexto homem de longa data Naz Reid para Charlotte na negociação que trouxe LaMelo Ball, que agora assume a criação de jogadas enquanto Edwards está fora.
O Spurs, em 0-2 antes da sequência atual, aposta num pick-and-roll invertido com Wembanyama conduzindo e Stephon Castle bloqueando; Castle tem sido eficiente como cortador curto, recebendo na área com espaço para atacar.
