After starting the season 3–2, the Spurs lost 18 consecutive games between November 5 and December 15, the longest losing streak in franchise history. Despite Wembanyama’s best efforts, not only did they fail to improve upon their record from the previous year, but were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth consecutive season after a loss to the Sacramento Kings on March 7.
