In Wednesday’s victory over the Trail Blazers, De’Aaron Fox led the way for the Spurs as he recorded 37 points, six rebounds and eight assists while Devin Vassell added 23 points and six rebounds of his own. Now San Antonio will try to grab their 13th victory of the season on Friday night in a tough road matchup against the Nuggets.

In addition, during Wemby's 12-game absence, the Spurs held a +3.2 win margin, ranked third in the NBA in points per game at 121.8, sixth in three-point field goal percentage at 37.9%, and third in turnovers at 12.4. And that kind of winning play caught the attention of Nuggets head coach David Adelman.
