Verno and Jacoby are back as they discuss where the Spurs go from here after it was announced that Victor Wembanyama’s season is ending due to injury, in addition to the continuous struggles from the Suns (04:51). Then, they discuss if there is any way for the Lakers to hide Luka Doncic on defense, why Shams is absolutely right when it comes to Giannis’s situation with the Bucks, and the Grizzlies' worrisome loss to the Pacers (21:46). Next, they discuss the Nuggets’ nine-game winning streak, as well as the tight MVP race between Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Karl Anthony-Towns’s stellar debut season with the Knicks, and the Sixers’ disappointing season (43:23).
