On their journey to New Orleans, the San Antonio Spurs are gearing up for their Friday night face-off against the Pelicans. As the Spurs rank fifteenth in the Western

Will Victor Wembanyama Play Against the Pelicans Tonight?
Victor Wembanyama is all set to play against the Pelicans. Their recent bout against the reigning champions witnessed a hint of Wembanyama's promising future.
The potential Rookie of the Year was close to clinching a quadruple-double with his impressive stats of 23 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, and nine blocks.
This season, the Spurs hold a record of 18-58 after succumbing to their previous two matches, including a close 110-105 loss against the Nuggets. Despite their recent downfall, the Spurs had been improving their performance with a sequence of three victories before their current setback.

Will Zion Williamson Play Against the Spurs Tonight?
The New Orleans Pelicans game will potentially see forward Zion Williamson (with a recent left finger contusion) as a questionable participant when they host the Spurs at 7 p.m. in the Smoothie King Center.
The Pelicans were in a favorable position just weeks ago, appearing as strong contenders for a top-four finish in the Western Conference and thereby earning a home-court advantage in the first playoff round.
However, circumstances have since changed due to the loss of star forward Brandon Ingram, causing the Pelicans to slide down to the seventh rank in the Western Conference standings.
This potential position would have them competing in the playoff qualification stage if they do not outpace either the Suns or Mavericks.
Now, with only five games left, including tonight's, the Pelicans are focused on either narrowing the gap with the Suns or Mavericks or ensuring the fitness of their two star forwards as the playoffs draw closer.
