Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs have now lost a franchise-worst 17 straight games. (AP/Eric Gay)Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs have dropped to a new historic low.The Spurs fell to the Houston Rockets 93-82 on Monday night at the Toyota Center. That marked the team’s 17th straight loss, which set a new franchise record.The Spurs dropped their 16th straight game in a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, which tied their franchise record. That dropped them to just 3-18 on the year, which marked the worst start in franchise history through 21 games. Wembanyama still had 21 points and 20 rebounds in that loss to the Bulls, however, which made him the youngest player in league history with a 20-point, 20-rebound game.The Rockets led for much of the second half on Monday night, and mounted a 12-4 run midway through the third quarter before holding on late to grab the 11-point win. Houston held the Spurs to just 15 points in the third quarter, too, which has been an area of concern for the franchise. The Spurs entered Monday being outscored by 146 points in the third quarter alone, which was just 10-points shy of the league-worst mark the Miami Heat had last season.Wembanyama led the Spurs with 15 points and 18 rebounds in the loss, and he shot 7-of-15 from the field. He also had a ridiculous dunk over Rockets center Alperen Sengun in the second half.Devin Vassell added 14 points for the Spurs, and Malaki Branham finished with 13 points and seven assists. The Spurs shot an awful 5-of-41 from the 3-point line as a team, which is just better than 12%.Tari Eason led the Rockets with 18 points and 14 rebounds off the bench. Fred VanVleet added 16 points, 10 of which came in the first half, and Sengun finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. Houston shot just 34.4% from the field as a team. The win marked their 10th straight at home.While the Spurs’ losing streak is bad, they’ve still got a ways to go to set the NBA’s all-time record. The Philadelphia 76ers lost 28 straight games from the end of the 2014-15 campaign into the start of the 2015-16 season. The 76ers also hold the single-season losing streak record at 26 games during the 2013-14 season. The Spurs’ losing streak isn’t even the worst active streak in the league right now. The Detroit Pistons dropped their 20th straight loss on Monday when they fell to the Indiana Pacers, which is just one game back from the longest such streak in their franchise history.The Spurs will have a chance to snap their losing skid on Wednesday when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.

As the NBA trade deadline nears, here are 3 trades worth considering.

As the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6 approaches, teams and players are preparing for potential changes. Trade targets generally fall into three categories, with some players widely available for trade talks, like Nikola Vučević. On the other hand, players like Jimmy Butler are unquestionably available, especially given the circumstances. There are also players not in trade discussions who could be traded unexpectedly. Let's examine one trade from each category: 1. Heat's Jimmy Butler and Alec Burks to the San Antonio Spurs for Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins, and Tre Jones: The Miami Heat face a crucial situation trying to make the playoffs to avoid giving up a high draft pick in 2026. Trading Butler for a modest return helps them remain competitive while avoiding future complications. 2. Bulls' Nikola Vučević to the New York Knicks for Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson: The Knicks lack big man depth, making a trade for Vučević, a proficient scorer and rebounder, beneficial. It also helps the Bulls financially and aligns with both teams' strategies. 3. Bulls' Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu to the Spurs for Zach Collins, Malaki Branham, Chicago's 2025 pick, and a 2027 unprotected first-round pick via the Atlanta Hawks: Considering the contractual limitations, trading White and Dosunmu to the Spurs for draft compensation benefits both teams in terms of player fit and financial flexibility. These potential trades showcase how different teams can benefit from strategic player exchanges as the trade deadline approaches. #News #AlecBurks #AlexCaruso #AtlantaHawks #AyoDosunmu #ChicagoBulls #ChrisPaul #CobyWhite #Deadline #GettyImages #JalenBrunson #JimmyButler #JoshGiddey #KarlAnthonyTowns #KeldonJohnson #MalakiBranham #MiamiHeat #Minnesota #MitchellRobinson #NBA #NBAtradedeadline #nears #NewYorkKnicks #NikolaVučević #OklahomaCity #OklahomaCityThunder #PreciousAchiuwa #RudyGobert #SanAntonio #SanAntonioSpurs #TheHeat #trade #tradediscussions #trades #TreJones #VictorWembanyama #Worth #ZachCollins https://tinyurl.com/2ay28wfo
