The Spurs are 15-53 on the season and will next host the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night in San Antonio.

Here's a sample of what the teams said after the game.

SPURS

Coach Gregg Popovich:

"They (Spurs) executed a lot of stuff. We gave them (Nets) a lot of things tonight. Their focus was really great and tried out some things we'd never done before I did a good job. A couple of things went awry. That's what happens in a game. But overall for a young group, I thought that they focused really well on execution and I thought their defense was really, really good against a lot of talented guys."

Wembanyama:

"It's a day-by-day thing, but what's for sure is I'm not even close to being at my best. I don't see my progression stopping anytime soon. So it's good for confidence, and it's a lot to correct. A lot to adjust."

Johnson:

"The next step for us is closing out games, and we did that tonight. Hopefully, we can build on that to finish out the season strong."

Veteran defensive lineman Arik Armstead didn’t stay on the open market for long following his release from the San Francisco 49ers.

According to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jacksonville Jaguars are signing the 30-year-old Armstead to a massive three-year contract worth $51 million. The reigning NFC Champions cut the longtime fan favorite in a cap-saving move that cleared $18 million against the cap.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Armstead also spoke to the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills. Russini added there was a discussion between the 49ers and the Texans for a one-for-one player swap that ended once the AFC South club signed Danielle.

Some responding to Russini’s tweet wondered if she was talking about star wide receiver Nico Collins, but she was presumably talking about defensive lineman Maliek Collins. Yesterday, the 49ers acquired Collins via trade in exchange for a seventh-round pick.

So after all that, Armstead remains in the AFC South and now joins a Jaguars front seven led by young stars Josh Allen and 2022 first overall pick Travon Walker and veteran stalwart Foyesade Oluokon.

Armstead was drafted 17th overall by the 49ers back in 2015. He had spent each of his first nine years on the west coast, helping San Fran to four NFC Championship Game appearances and two Super Bowl berths.

For his career, Armstead has 33.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, six pass defenses and 302 combined tackles.
