· National Basketball AssociationSpurs beat the Suns 120-109 hours after losing star Wembanyama due to a blood clot in his shoulder

Fox added nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks as the Spurs won the opener of a two-game set in Austin, a city they covet as part of a mega-region that they’ve been cultivating for years.
Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie each scored 15 points for San Antonio. Stephon Castle had 10 rebounds and Chris Paul 10 assists.
Royce O'Neale scored 27 to lead Phoenix, which lost its fourth straight game and for the seventh time in eight games.
Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his return to the University of Texas campus. The All-Star forward played one season at Texas, 2006-07, and was selected as player of the year by The Associated Press and a number of other outlets.
Spurs: Paul had two steals and passed Jason Kidd for second place on the NBA's all-time list, behind John Stockton. Bismack Biyombo started in place of Wembanyama and scored eight points in 16 minutes. Charles Bassey, Wembanyama's usual backup, missed his sixth straight game with a knee injury.
