This Friday, League MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo and the NBA Cup Champion Milwaukee Bucks will make their only stop in San Antonio this season. They’re in search of their second win against the Spurs this month.
With defensive anchor Victor Wembanyama limited by foul trouble, Antetokounmpo dominated in a 105-121 blowout against the Spurs in Milwaukee, finishing the night with 25 points and 16 rebounds. After the game, Wembanyama noted the absence of Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, who sat out with low-back tightness.
As the team’s annual Rodeo Road Trip and league’s Feb. 6 trade deadline loom, notable centers seemingly available to bolster San Antonio’s frontcourt defense include Washington’s Jonas Valanciunas and Chicago’s Nikola Vucevic.
This season’s February gauntlet includes six games away from home with stops in Memphis, Orlando and Boston against former Spur Derrick White and the defending NBA Champion Celtics.
$28 and up, 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, Frost Bank Center, 1 Frost Bank Center Drive, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com, Fanduel Sports Network-Southwest.
