3 Jan
Summary
- De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points to lead the Spurs to victory.
- Victor Wembanyama is day-to-day with a hyperextended left knee.
- The Pacers have now lost 11 consecutive games.
The San Antonio Spurs secured a 123-113 win against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, their first victory since star player Victor Wembanyama sustained a knee injury. De'Aaron Fox spearheaded the Spurs' offense with 24 points, supported by Dylan Harper's 22 points and Stephon Castle's 19 points.
Wembanyama hyperextended his left knee on Wednesday night, but an MRI revealed no ligament damage. He remained in San Antonio for rehabilitation, with coach Mitch Johnson describing him as day-to-day. The Spurs have a strong record of 10-3 when Wembanyama is not playing.
The Pacers, who suffered their 11th consecutive loss, were led by Pascal Siakam's 23 points and 10 rebounds. Despite shooting 51% from the field compared to the Spurs' 44%, Indiana could not overcome San Antonio's strong free-throw performance. The Spurs maintained control throughout the fourth quarter to secure the win.
