The Cavaliers famously started last year 15-0, finishing with a 64-18 record before injuries took their toll and led to a disappointing second round exit to the eventual East champ the Indiana Pacers. Returning all of their core of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and Jarrett Allen and most of the rest of their roster, head coach Kenny Atkinson\u2019s group nonetheless finds itself 13-10 to start this season and 7th in the East standings. They\u2019ve dealt with some injuries early on, but lucky for them the season is still barely a month old. There\u2019s plenty of time before season\u2019s end for them to find their way into the top 3, as they\u2019re just 4.5 games back of the current #1 Detroit Pistons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Winners of 4 of their last 5, the San Antonio Spurs continue to chug along while Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle recover from their respective injuries. The rest of the team has stepped it up in a big way, as the entire squad seems to have upped their level of intensity. Case in point: 3 of those 4 wins came on the road. San Antonio will be spending most of their time this month traveling from one NBA city to the next, with a total of 7 games on the road in December. With the return of Wembanyama and Castle hopefully not too much further off, can the Silver and Black continue to get it done on the road and maintain their positioning in the seemingly always chaotic West?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>San Antonio Spurs (15-6) at Cleveland Cavaliers (13-10)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>November 28th 2025 | 8:30 PM CT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Watch: FDSS | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Spurs Injuries<\/strong>: Luke Kornet, ankle (questionable), Victor Wembanyama, calf strain (OUT), Stephon Castle, hip flexor (OUT), Jordan McLaughlin, hamstring (OUT),<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Cavaliers Injuries:<\/strong> Darius Garland, toe (OUT), Jarrett Allen, finger (OUT), Sam Merrill, hand (OUT), Tyrese Proctor, personal (OUT), Max Strus, foot (OUT)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you\u2019d like to, you may follow along with the game on our Twitter profile (@poundingtherock) or visit our Game Thread!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following their extremely successful regular season campaign last season, many pundits had the Cleveland Cavaliers slotted into one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":426204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,145315,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-426203","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-spurs-game-previews","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115666401653972195","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
