San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, now in his third NBA season, makes a mark at the Rising Stars event despite aging out of the competition. During Game 1, rookie Dylan Harper showcases fierce competitiveness, clashing with New Orleans Pelicans' Derik Queen at tipoff. Harper's intensity mirrors Wembanyama's fiery approach, energizing the Spurs team. Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards praises Wembanyama for setting a competitive tone throughout the All-Star festivities. Wembanyama states, "I'm thinking it's [not] OK to lose. I'm going to be out there. I might as well win." The Spurs aim for their first postseason berth since 2019, resuming their quest with a 121-94 win against the Phoenix Suns in Austin, Texas. After overcoming significant adversity last season, including Wembanyama's shutdown due to deep vein thrombosis, the Spurs now hold the league's third-best record.
