The Miami Heat will need all hands on deck against the undefeated San Antonio Spurs, led by Victor Wembanyama. Two of those hands may be clapping Thursday nigh

The San Antonio Spurs, led by a dominant Victor Wembanyama, have exceeded expectations with a hot start, leading the Southwest Division and sparking discussions about their potential as a contender.

The San Antonio Spurs have a long history of dominant NBA big men, but their latest project could feature the most talented one out of all of them based on his early contributions to the Western Conference team in his first two seasons.

A former NBA veteran took the time to explain how Victor Wembanyama has evolved into a dominant force to start the new season.

San Antonio Spurs forward-center Victor Wembanyama and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 1 of the 2025-26 season (Oct. 21-26).

San Antonio will have to contend without five players, but Victor Wembanyama is available to lead the team's charge. The 7-foot-4 phenom isn't among the five players ruled out for the Nets game. The French superstar will enter the contest on the back of a near triple-double performance against the Indiana Pacers on Friday.

Victor Wembanyama dominated with 40 points as the San Antonio Spurs spoiled Cooper Flagg's debut, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 119–91 at home on Wednesday.

While Victor Wembanyama has wowed, the Spurs center explained his brilliance following a Spurs win vs the Mavericks in the season opener.
