Before the season started, the San Antonio Spurs weren’t expected to compete for the postseason. As things stand, the Spurs are 5-30 on the season. Victor Wembanyama’s presence has given fans high hopes for the future, but in the short term, the Spurs are the bottom-feeders of the Western Conference.
Three of the Spurs’ five wins came in the first five games of the season, and since then, they’ve won just two games. They’ve found themselves in some close games, but they’ve struggled to close the gap and get over the hump. But despite their struggles, the team is still confident in their abilities and the guys they have on the roster.

“We haven’t been winning games, but I feel like that’s going to change as long as we just stick together,” Branham said. “We have a young core, so I feel like the best thing we can have is just chemistry, where people like the ball at, and once we figure that out I think we’re going to be pretty good.”
