Following a tough loss to the Clippers, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson admitted a lineup change may have played a part in the outcome.

Here's what Mitch Johnson, Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama had to say after the loss to the Clippers. SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 128-116 at home. Victor Wembanyama finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Harrison Barnes had 15, and Chris Paul had seven and seven assists.

The star center took exception to a cheap shot delivered by Ivica Zubac in a 128-116 loss that extended the Spurs' home losing streak to five games.

SAN ANTONIO — Clippers center Ivica Zubac added 21 points and 22 rebounds in an intense battle with San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama as the Clippers rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-116 on Wednesday night. Wembanyama had 23 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs. They have lost five of six.

That’s because the Spurs — reportedly Fox’s preferred trade destination — currently have nine tradeable first-round picks that they can include in a deal to the Heat’s one tradeable first-round selection. San Antonio also has young talent such as Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and others who it can add to any trade package for Fox.

P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford had double-doubles, four of their Dallas teammates scored in double figures and the visiting Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 137-136 on Wednesday night.

Zubac yelled at the officials earlier in the third quarter for not calling a foul on Harrison Barnes after the Spurs forward blocked his layup. The frustration boiled over when Wembanyama blocked Zubac's attempted dunk with 4:49 remaining in the third quarter and no foul was called.
