In an electrifying clash, the San Antonio Spurs faced a tough challenge against the Memphis Grizzlies, highlighted by a surprising first foul from Victor Wembanyama a mere second into the game. Devin Vassell voiced disbelief over the call, stating he had never witnessed such an occurrence. Meanwhile, Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey took full advantage of the matchup, scoring impressively against Wembanyama, who struggled to find his rhythm.

Despite showing promise with defensive prowess and nearly achieving a triple-double, Wembanyama's limited scoring contributed to the Spurs' inability to maintain their lead, ultimately losing to the Grizzlies. The budding rivalry between these young teams was palpable, with trash talk and excitement brewing for their next encounter.
