Why is Victor Wembanyama out for the season?
A little bit of bad news to start the day. As you guys probably know, if you're listening, Victor Wiminyama has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. He's going to be out for the season. This is awful news for people like us, Zena, that watch and love basketball every single night. The good news is he's going to be back at the start of next season.
What does Wemby's absence mean for the Spurs?
The Spurs expect him to be completely healthy. This is just a bump in the road. So that's the great news. But in the short term, Zena, we have to adjust to life without Victor Wiminyama for the rest of the season.
Yeah, this sucks. Like for basketball fans, not only for the San Antonio Spurs, but universally, like this guy was the face of the league to be, right? When you think about what Victor Wemenyama, you talk about levitational player, a guy that's crafty, that's wily, that does these methodical moves on the court and blows your mind because he's 7'4". it's like, you're not supposed to be able to do that in this lanky body that you've got. And he entertains us all with everything that he does out on the floor. And it's really unfortunate that now that has come to an end, but you're right in that it's good news that this was caught because deep vein thrombosis is an incredibly scary thing that if not caught could have fatal circumstances.
Thank you.
How did the Knicks secure their overtime win?
yeah again stick around guys after the break Sam Amick he wrote a whole piece on it and he joins the show and breaks down the entire timeline including like this has been going on for a few weeks now with Wemby so definitely stick around for that Zena it feels weird because we did have a basketball game Wednesday night but we're now officially back from the all-star break although there's an argument to be made that in some of these games the guys are still on vacation they're a little sluggish
Yeah. Yeah.
The Knicks and Bulls had a game in which I don't know if we could say they really played defense. It was an entertaining game, but not a great one. The Knicks did did do the thing that they do when they pulled out a tough win. Jalen Brunson hits a clutch shot that that sets up an opportunity for the Bulls to get a game winning shot. And Zena, Mikael Bridges has a clutch block essentially at the buzzer to force overtime. Is this the best block this season?
Because of the circumstances and what should set it up? Absolutely. Because it's one thing to have a block just because it's just nasty and disrespectful. But it's another thing because it actually set them up to be able to go on and win the game. So, yeah, shout out to Mikael Bridges for the athletic play.
Yeah, and again, Jalen Brunson, just what he does, end of games, the ability to always get a shot. That continued over into overtime where the defense just, in my opinion, they sell out for Jalen Brunson, and he winds up creating these easy looks. He hit Carl Anthony Towns for a really nice little pocket pass that I thought caught Towns off guard. Towns hits a little floater, and essentially the game was over after that. But Carl Anthony Towns puts up 32 points and 18 rebounds. Thank you, Dave.
I was wondering if you were going to only give some love to the guard. Don't worry.
Carlinson Towns was insane. That's right. You're big on big. So look, I mean, what he's been doing rebounding. I think what he's been doing offensively, he's a lock for all NBA. But this rebounding is is pretty intense. And when we think about the Knicks, we know that there's such, you know, rebounding is so important for them. It has been historically.
