Victor Wembanyama is listed as questionable with ribs as the San Antonio Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks on April 10, 2026, in the fourth and final matchup between the Texas rivals this season. Tipoff is set for 7:00 PM CT at a time when the Spurs are chasing nothing more than health and the Mavericks are already looking toward the NBA Draft Lottery.
The Spurs enter at 61-19 and locked into the No. 2 seed, while the Mavericks sit at 25-55 after a difficult first full season without Luka Doncic. Stephon Castle is also questionable with a foot injury, and San Antonio has additional frontcourt uncertainty with the team waiting on its playoff path. For Dallas, the absences are heavier: Caleb Martin, Daniel Gafford, Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II are all out, while Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson, PJ Washington and Brandon Williams are day to day.
This is the final regular-season game of the year for the two Texas franchises where it began, after they met three times earlier in the 2025-2026 season. The game will be carried on KENS and on WOAI at 1200 AM, giving local viewers and listeners one last chance to watch a rivalry that has already settled into very different realities on either side of the state line.

The contrast is sharp. San Antonio is waiting for the playoffs with its seeding secure. Dallas is trying to get through the finish line and into lottery season, a reflection of how hard the franchise has had to work through its first full campaign without Doncic. That makes Friday night less about standings and more about one team guarding its bodies, while the other searches for what comes next.
