SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (12-5) will visit the Denver Nuggets (13-4) and look to win Group C with a win over the Nuggets in the NBA Cup race. The Spurs are coming off a 115-102 road win against the Blazers. De'Aaron Fox led the team with 37 points (career-high as a Spur) and eight assists.

The Spurs and Nuggets are each playing without two starters on Friday, setting up a shorthanded matchup. Of course, Wembanyama's absence is the most significant, but both of these teams are completely different without those players on the floor.

Nikola Jokic popped up on the injury report for the Denver Nuggets' matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.
