Webanyama also spoke about the challenge of playing in the NBA: "The NBA is very different from anything else. It's really challenging. I'm not talking about the losses, but about how every game matters, about how difficult every night is. You're in a bad phase and nobody puts their head down. Everyone wants to destroy you on the court; every night is very intense. Those who follow from afar think that some teams sometimes go in relaxed, but that's not true. Every night is a tough battle. Of course it's not going to be easy. I know it's going to take some time for us to be title contenders; after all, there's a lot of talent in the league. I'm a patient guy above all. So it's time to work, sacrifice for the benefit of everyone and grow. I'm not wasting time; this is a step for us to grow. I have confidence in our team in the long term. I'm ready for anything"

Gregg Popovich, Spurs head coach, spoke about Webanyama, praising the player and comparing him to Spurs stars: "I can't take away some instincts from his game. That's what I learned, above all, when I coached Manu. You sometimes lock players into a system, but both he and Wembanyama go beyond that. Ginóbili taught me to shut up and let him play. He does things in the paint that I could never teach him. Part of it is about his height and how he has the sense of space to take advantage of it. He does incredible things, but he also likes to get out to the perimeter and be versatile. He brings that quite often. At some point, he'll be more efficient, but it shows how wide-ranging his game is as a rookie. I'm very lucky that he's so mature and has such a strong mentality. That, above all, is the most important thing for someone who plays like him. I'm not just talking about the result, winning or losing, but also about what actions to take in a game and thinking on behalf of the team. In that sense, he reminds me of Tim and David. They were always more concerned with how to make things happen than with the end result. Processes are important, and he has his. Ultimately, he knows he can't skip these steps and he's done a great job."

The Heat will only have one absentee: Dru Smith is out with a knee injury. The Spurs will also be without just one player: Charles Bassey, who also has a knee injury.
