Back-to-back assignments are going poorly for the Timberwolves after a loss to the San Antonio Spurs

Popovich is the NBA career leader with 1,390 wins. He has won 170 postseason games and five NBA titles and is now in his 29th NBA season, all with the Spurs.

Apple Valley’s Tre Jones – former Duke star and brother of Tyus Jones of the Phoenix Suns – was out for the Spurs on Saturday due to an ankle injury.

Spurs sophomore sensation Victor Wembanyama came to Saturday’s game after a rare 5×5 match in Thursday’s lopsided win over Utah. He had at least five in five different statistical categories: 25 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, five steals and five blocked shots.

That’s now the second 5×5 game in his young career. Former Jazz star and former Timberwolves forward Andrei Kirilenko had three in his career. Former Houston Rockets great Hakeem Olajuwon did it six times.

On Saturday, Wembanyama had a game of 17 points, six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal.
