@JahlilWill: βI know Wenbangyama is not feeling well, so I hope he gets some rest tonight and is feeling better tomorrow. Having him in the lineup for the game against Utah is a perfect fit. It may be just what the doctor ordered.β

@IrRashonalSport: “Honestly, tonight was more of a reflection of the Spurs as a whole than just him. The Thunder dominated the Spurs and exposed all of the Spurs' weaknesses at once. I'm not worried at all. This loss… It could actually be a stepping stone.β
