San Antonio host Golden State on Saturday morning Hong Kong time in an NBA Cup West Group C matchup after both teams won their opening group games. The spotlight falls on Victor Wembanyama, who is chasing another Defensive Player of the Year award, and on Stephen Curry, whose availability is uncertain after he left a recent game early with abdominal pain. The Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers 112-95 in their first group game, while the Spurs opened with a 124-109 road win over the Sacramento Kings. It will be the teams’ first meeting of the season, with both arriving in strong form
