Let’s talk about what’s happening Wednesday night, Dub Nation. The San Antonio Spurs are coming to town. Yes, those SpursL winners of nine straight, holding the second best record in the Western Conference, operating with the terrifying efficiency of a franchise that spent a decade in the wilderness. They roll into Chase Center while the Warriors are running a MASH unit masquerading as an NBA roster.
San Antonio Spurs (57-18) at Golden State Warriors (36-39)
When: April 1, 2026 | 7:00 PM PT
Where: Chase Center, San Francisco
TV: ESPN | Radio: 95.7 The Game
Deep breath before I rattle off these depressing injury reports…..Stephen Curry is out with a knee
injury. Jimmy Butler is watching from a couch somewhere with a surgically repaired ACL. Moses Moody just got diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon. Al Horford’s soleus strain has him re-evaluating week to week. Will Richard and Quinten Post are both day-to-day.
Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama is out here dropping 41-piece performances against the Bulls, recording the fastest double-double in NBA history, and using these final regular season games as a personal finishing school before the playoffs arrive. He’s averaging 24.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 3.07 blocks this season. He has De’Aaron Fox running point beside him now, and Fox is dishing 7.2 assists per game. The Spurs are 27-11 on the road. This is a machine that is fully assembled and warming up its engines.
The Warriors beat Wembanyama twice in November with Curry going completely supernova for 49 and 46 points in back-to-back outings. Those were different Warriors. Wembanyama returned the favor in February, as the Spurs pulled away late 126-113. He knows what this building feels like now.
This game is a measuring stick held up against a franchise that is about to remind the entire Western Conference exactly where the bar has been set. The play-in is still the mission for Golden State. Surviving to fight another day is the only thing that matters right now.
Tonight is just a reminder of how far the road ahead actually goes.
