After a long offseason full of change, the day that Alamo City sports fans have patiently waited is almost here.

The revamped San Antonio Spurs, led by No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama, will take on the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat at the recently renamed Frost Bank Center.

Although the game is a preseason friendly, tickets for seats in the lower bowl are going for $200-plus as fans expect Wemby to play in what will be his first ever NBA preseason game.

While the French phenom should provide plenty of game action — especially paired with promising talents including Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell — the Silver and Black are still in for a tough time against Jimmy Butler and the Heat.

$16 and up, 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, Frost Bank Center, 1 AT&T Center Parkway, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com.
