With a healthy De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama returning, the San Antonio Spurs are gearing up for a significant improvement in the upcoming season. Wembanyama, who averaged 24.3 points and 11 rebounds this past season, expressed his eagerness to return after a season cut short by deep vein thrombosis. He was a frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year award and led the league in blocked shots despite playing only 46 games.

Wembanyama emphasized the importance of perspective, reflecting on the excellent care he received during his recovery. His optimism and readiness to contribute could reshape the Spurs' fortunes, especially with potential growth from teammates and new acquisitions. The Spurs are eyeing a leap forward, leveraging Wembanyama's talent and resilience to reclaim competitive stature in the league.
