Our Chicago Bulls will almost certainly drop the 10th game of their first 11 clashes on Wednesday night, when they’ll face Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs for the first time this year.
Fresh off their first NBA Finals appearance in 12 years (Chicago, meanwhile, hasn’t been to an NBA Finals since De’Aaron Fox was six months old), the Spurs will look to extend their win streak to 10 straight by no doubt annihilating a rudderless Bulls club coached by San Antonio alum Tiago Splitter.
Wembanyama, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and one of the favorites to claim MVP honors this season, has been on an absolute tear. In just 29.9 minutes a night, the stringbean 22-year-old has been averaging 30.1 points on .529/.323/.774 shooting splits, 11.9 rebounds, a league-leading 4.4 blocks, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and a +17.8 plus-minus.

— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnor) November 5, 2026But he’s not the whole story behind this suffocating San Antonio squad and its emergence as the clear best in the West, thanks to some depressing Oklahoma City Thunder injuries.
Second-year guard Dylan Harper (son of Bulls champion Ron) and third-year guard Stephon Castle are both playing so well that they could make their All-Star debuts this February. Head coach Mitch Johnson opted to placate his three best guards by starting Harper next to Castle and Fox, rather than relegating one of them to the bench. This has made San Antonio a bit small beyond the 7-foot-5 Wembanyama.
Wing Devin Vassell, who’s questionable with a left adductor injury, has served as the club’s fifth starter — for now. San Antonio has an opportunity to get even better soon. Veteran power forward Tobias Harris, who inked a two-season, $31 million deal with the Spurs in free agency after a successful stint with the Detroit Pistons, has been sidelined all year with a strained left calf. Harris’ arrival will give San Antonio more frontcourt size and depth whenever he does come back.

What To Watch For
A lot of digital ink has been spilled (including on this very site, by me) about how semi-respectable the Bulls looked while losing by just six points to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday — and how much of that might be a credit to the injury-necessitated insertion of top perimeter defender Isaac Okoro into the starting lineup. With Powell officially still questionable to suit up, Chicago leadership finds itself in an awkward position. The team likely wants to see how this team looks sans Powell in that first five for a bit longer. Okoro gives the club a reliable point-of-attack defensive edge and a less selfish offensive system. The Spurs aren’t invulnerable. With Tobias Harris yet to make his Spurs debut and Devin Vessell being asked to guard bigger power forwards, the team’s big issues are playing forwards with size — and navigating an occasionally turnover-prone offense. But those issues only look glaring against competent teams. San Antonio isn’t playing one of those tonight. Chicago may have an extra rest day over the Spurs, but that won’t make much of a difference. Caleb Wilson has exhibited a fairly relentless motor and looks every bit like the five-star prospect he had been heading into the year. After so much losing, will his effort hit the proverbial wall against another much, much better team in San Antonio? San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper dribbles.Injury Report
