Spurs' point guard Tre Jones attempts a layup during game play last season.

No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama will play his first regular-season career game in a much anticipated nationally televised matchup against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

After finishing 11th in the Western Conference last season, the Mavs have racked up a busy offseason that involved signing Kyrie Irving to a 3-year extension and building much-needed depth around Doncic.

However, with the addition of Wemby, and strong performances from Tre Jones and Devin Vassell against Oklahoma City in preseason games earlier this month, the Spurs' young core looks poised to give a key Texas rival a run for its money.

$67 and up, 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, Frost Bank Center, 1 AT&T Center Parkway, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com. Watch on ESPN/ESPN Deportes.
