Every Monday, we catch you up on the happenings in the NBA. This week’s big story is Victor Wembanyama and his dramatic return. He took down an Oklahoma City Thunder team that has been invincible pretty much all season. It set up the marquee event of the week: the San Antonio Spurs taking on the New York Knicks in Tuesday’s 2025 NBA Cup final.

The Hall of Famer has an emotional stake in the San Antonio Spurs, the team he helped win four championships, and this was before the Spurs played the behemoth from Oklahoma City in the semifinals. Let’s just say that, after the fact, that stake has now intensified.

The Spurs' upset of the Thunder in the NBA Cup has put Victor Wembanyama's squad back into the top of the NBA power rankings.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder's record 16-game win streak with a 111-109 win in the NBA Cup semifinals.
