The reason why Wembanyama's Spurs are going to be even more unstoppable
The Texas franchise, still undefeated, will regain 3 key players in the coming days, including De'Aaron Fox
For the San Antonio Spurs, the start of the 2025/26 NBA season has been unbeatable. With their star, Victor Wembanyama, performing at an almost magical level, the Texas team remains undefeated after winning their first 2 games. And the best part is that they have achieved this despite several key absences, including that of De'Aaron Fox.
The Spurs could soon welcome back three key pieces to their rotation. The Texan team announced that De'Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk, and Jeremy Sochan are very close to returning to the court, which comes at the perfect time for a team that, even with significant absences, has started the season strongly.
Star point guard De'Aaron Fox, who has been out due to a hamstring strain, participated in a five-on-five practice session on Friday, a clear sign that his recovery process is progressing as planned. Team sources indicate that the Spurs expect to have him back before the end of October, which would provide a boost to the team's perimeter as they are already competitive without him.
Fox is joined by two veterans with crucial roles in the team's structure: Kelly Olynyk, who is recovering from heel surgery, and Jeremy Sochan, who continues to overcome a wrist injury. Both also took part in Friday's practice game, reinforcing the expectation that their return is imminent.
Wembanyama, NBA Superstar
The good news for San Antonio is that, even without these three players, the team has surprised everyone with a 2-0 start in the 2025-26 season. Led by a MVP-mode Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs are currently one of the two unbeaten teams in the Western Conference, alongside the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The impact of the French phenomenon has been devastating on both ends of the court. Wembanyama not only excels defensively with his intimidating presence but has also elevated his offensive production to superstar levels. His leadership has enabled the Spurs to remain competitive despite the absences of three of their most experienced players.
