On Wednesday night, San Antonio emerged as the big winners of the NBA draft lottery when the franchise was awarded the No. 1 pick in June’s draft.
It’s expected the Spurs will use the top pick to draft French phenom Victor Wembanyama.
The 19 year-old dominant 7-foot-4 big man, who many regard as the greatest prospect since LeBron James, had the NBA world buzzing after telling ESPN he expects ‘to win a ring’ immediately.

This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do,” Morant’s statement read, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. “My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions.

Hours after he was fired following the 76ers’ second-round defeat against the Celtics, Doc Rivers released a statement Tuesday night thanking Philadelphia fans and the organization for their support over the past three seasons.
“I really enjoyed my time in Philadelphia—what a great city. I want to start by thanking my staff, the players, and the ownership group for their support,” Rivers’s statement read. “We got a lot done in a short amount of time.
“I’d also like to thank the 76ers fans. Whew … you guys are tough, and I think you’ve learned I’m tough too.
