SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The San Antonio Spurs carry the league’s longest active run of wins, 10 straight, into Friday night’s NBA Cup group-stage game against the Golden State Warriors at Frost Bank Center, though they may be short two starters.
The team listed guard De’Aaron Fox as questionable with soreness in his left hip and forward Devin Vassell as questionable with a tight left adductor. Vassell has sat out the last two games. Fox was added after a 17-point, nine-assist night in Wednesday’s 124-119 comeback win at Chicago, where San Antonio erased a 22-point hole in the second quarter.
Forward Tobias Harris remains out. He has not played this season after straining his left calf early in training camp.
Victor Wembanyama has carried the load during the streak, putting up 32.6 points a night to go with 11.4 boards and 4.5 blocked shots over the 10 wins. He leads the NBA in blocks per game.
Golden State arrives at 8-4 and without Stephen Curry, who has an abdominal oblique tear and will be reevaluated in two weeks. The Warriors saw an eight-game winning streak end Wednesday in a 115-108 loss at Houston.
Former Spurs center Charles Bassey, a former prep standout at the city’s St. Anthony school, is listed as probable for Golden State with a sore left toe.
Tipoff is 8:30 p.m. It is the first of three meetings this season and the second Cup group game for the Spurs (10-2), who won at Sacramento last week.
Golden State opened its Cup group schedule with a 19-point rout of the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 30, and it has managed to outscore opponents during the minutes Curry has been off the floor so far this season.
