Yaxel Lendeborg after going 1/13 shooting tonight in blowout loss to Spurs: “I was flustered the entire game. Couldn’t make a damn layup.”
On facing Wembanyama: “We were all
Just doing some weak ass floaters…I shot like seven of them. I don’t even work on floaters.”
“He’s skinnier than me. I just got to go up there and put an elbow in his chest and jump into his body or something. If he blocks it, he blocks it. I can’t go up there scared.”

With Curry out, the Warriors now have four of top five salaries on the injury report.
Curry, Butler, Porzingis, and Moody combine to make over $150 million this season.
Draymond Green is the only healthy top-5 salary on the team.

Charles Bassey was twelve years old and selling fried chicken by the side of a road in Lagos when a basketball coach walked past and looked at how tall he was.
He was six foot one at twelve. He had been playing football, the kind with a round ball, and he had no particular interest in the other game.
The coach talked him into trying it.
Two years later he was the most valuable player at the Giants of Africa camp, which Masai Ujiri of the Toronto Raptors started to find kids exactly like him.
At 14 he left Nigeria for the United States. A coach named Hennssy Auriantal, who makes a job of bringing international players to American private schools, is the one who got him here.
He went to St. Anthony Catholic in San Antonio. As a freshman he averaged 20.2 points and 17.1 rebounds and 5.9 blocks.
The next year the state association ruled he was not eligible. His school left that association for a different one so he could play. His head coach got fired for playing him.
He finished high school at DeSales in Louisville and came out a consensus five star.
Western Kentucky got him.
As a freshman there he averaged 14.6 points and 10 rebounds and was the best defensive player in his conference and the best freshman in it.
Ten games into his second year he broke the top of his shin bone against Arkansas and needed surgery.
He came back and averaged 17.6 and 11.6 and was the player of the year in Conference USA. He made third team All American that season.
Philadelphia took him 53rd in 2021.
The 76ers waived him in October of 2022. He had spent that first season with the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League. San Antonio signed him to a two way deal, then gave him four years and 10.2 million dollars, and then he fractured his kneecap and tore the ligament in the same knee nine months later. They waived him and signed him back nine days after that.
Atlanta signed him in September of 2025 and let him go before the season started.
Memphis gave him a 10 day contract. He played two games.
Then the G League in Santa Cruz.
Then Philadelphia again, two more 10 day contracts, one game.
Then Boston, who had already had him in summer league, two more 10 day contracts, five games.
That is five 10 day contracts with three teams in one season.
In April the Golden State Warriors signed him for the rest of the year. Two days later he put up 14 points and 12 rebounds and they beat Sacramento. He played five games for them and averaged 10.6 and 7.2.
In July they gave him a one year contract.
He is 26 years old and he is on an NBA roster.
