Context
From the rows this page already reads
- The Spurs lost 136-134 at the Nuggets.
- Previous appearance: Apr 1, 2026, 3 days earlier.
- Between the previous appearance and this game, the Spurs played on Apr 2, 2026; Wembanyama was not in that box score; the data does not say why.
- No earlier regular-season meetings with the Nuggets this season.
- The source holds fewer Spurs games than this season has, so season highs, lows and ranks count only the games it holds.
