Victor Wembanyama's impressive performance leads the Spurs to victory over the Grizzlies.
by CLAY BAILEY Associated Press San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama shoots ahead of Memphis Grizzlies forward GG Jackson in the first half of an NBA basketball game Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in Memphis, Tenn.
Jordan Goodwin had a career-best 19 rebounds while scoring 10 points for the Grizzlies. Brandon Clarke, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Trey Jemison each had 14 points for Memphis. Whether it was the Spurs' defense or poor shooting, Memphis made only four shots in the third, missing seven of eight 3-point attempts.
The teams are instead looking toward the draft lottery with optimism for next season. Wembanyama and his teammates will have a year's experience and growth. Memphis is hoping to avoid the injuries that have plagued its stars and key reserves most of this season. The Spurs had a half dozen players out with various ailments, including three of their top four scorers — Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan.
