San Antonio Spurs shift from underdogs to the hunted as they rise in the NBA.

Are the San Antonio Spurs ready to handle the mounting pressure as a team that opponents target?

Host Jeff Garcia and guest from Spurs On Sports Illustrated, Matt Guzman, examine how the Spurs’ newfound success impacts their development, the psychological challenge of being targeted by teams game-in and game-out.

With Victor Wembanyama’s injury scare still fresh, the conversation shifts to his workload management and the long-term health risks facing 7-foot-4 NBA stars. Should the Spurs limit his minutes or bring him off the bench to mitigate risks—and how could this affect his Supermax contract eligibility?
