For those who wanted to see the “Wembanyama checks himself in” drama unfold in real time: He gets up to head to the scorers table, Pop sees him, doesn’t care, Mitch Johnson comes over to “remind” him of the restriction, Wemby comes out at the next dead ball. pic.twitter.com/jy4q3NXi8h – 7:00 PM

Pop likes what he’s seen lately from Blake Wesley, especially defensively: “He’s played freely. He doesn’t look like he is worried about making a mistake. He’s been excellent at the defensive end.” – 6:24 PM

Updated story with Pop’s reaction to Wemby checking himself in late in Memphis:
“Definitely he is frustrated with the minutes restriction, but he’s also intelligent enough to understand that long-term is what we are interested in.”

Pop said the date for the medical staff to re-examine Wemby’s right ankle is “coming soon.”
“It’s within the next week or two, I believe. But I don’t know the exact date.”
Pop said Tuesday that Victor’s minutes restriction wouldn’t be lifted until the ankle is re-examined. – 5:53 PM

Devin Vassell had a positive reaction to Wemby boldly checking himself into the game late at Memphis, but it’s not something he would try himself.
“I don’t know about that one, with that man down there,” he said while gesturing toward Pop. #Spurs

The Bucks rank a dismal 24th (out of 30 NBA teams) in points allowed per game at 119.7.
And, unless they make a deadline trade, it’s not going to get much better. A lot of bad individual defenders on this team. – 1:57 PM
