San Antonio Spurs Starting Lineup vs. Milwaukee Bucks
GettySAN ANTONIO, TX – NOVEMBER 16: De’Aaron Fox #4 of the San Antonio Spurs celebrates with Keldon Johnson #3 after a dunk against the Sacramento Kings in the second half at Frost Bank Center on November 16, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.
In the lead-up to the game, the Spurs revealed their starting lineup as they hope to win an eighth game in a row.
Fox, Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama were all chosen as starters by head coach Mitch Johnson.
This is a typical lineup San Antonio has started games with this season, as with Wembanyama, the key piece of it all, the team has surrounded him with guards and shooters to better take advantage of his size and the spacing he creates to punish opposing defenses.
In the team’s last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Spurs started rookie standout Dylan Harper over Fox, but with the latest injury news for the 28-year-old, he’s since been placed back in the starting rotation.
Spurs Injury Report vs. Bucks Amid De’Aaron Fox Update
GettyATLANTA, GEORGIA – FEBRUARY 05: Head coach Mitch Johnson of the San Antonio Spurs converses with De’Aaron Fox #4 against the Atlanta Hawks during the second quarter at State Farm Arena on February 05, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Fox previously had a back injury designation and missed San Antonio’s Wednesday night win over the Grizzlies.
However, on Friday, the Spurs announced they had taken Fox off the injury report. It appears the back injury that kept him sidelined for one game was just a minor issue, as he doesn’t have an injury designation for Saturday, and isn’t expected to have a minutes restriction against Milwaukee.
Before the game, San Antonio doesn’t have any full-time players listed on their injury report, but David Jones Garcia, Harrison Ingram, and Emanuel Miller, all of whom are two-way players in the G-League, are not expected to play.
As for the Bucks, the team has a loaded injury report for Saturday against the Spurs.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Gary Harris, Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter Jr., and Bobby Portis have all been ruled out either with injuries or other health concerns.
While previously questionable, Myles Turner (illness) has been upgraded to available, one of just a few of Milwaukee’s consistent starters set to suit up for the game.
San Antonio Spurs And Victor Wembanyama This Season
GettyVictor Wembanyama isn’t waiting for MVP conversations; he’s forcing his way into the center of them as the Spurs continue to win in dominant fashion.
The Spurs are currently 55-18, sitting second in the West, just 2.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed in the conference.
San Antonio has won six games in a row and nine of their last ten. With the help of Wembanyama, they’ve had one of the best records in the NBA since the start of 2026, as well as over the course of the entire season.
Recently, Wembanyama has been surging up the MVP rankings, as in the latest ladder released by the league, he now ranks first, over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic, all of whom have had the highest MVP odds at least once this year.

2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
3. Nikola Jokić
4. Luka Dončić
5. Jaylen Brown

In 58 games this season, Wembanyama is averaging 24.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, three assists, and 3.1 blocks on 50.5% shooting.
If the postseason plays out as expected, the Spurs are on a collision course to face the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. They have beaten Oklahoma City four of the five times they’ve played this season, and according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the two franchises are quickly shaping up to create the NBA’s next best rivalry for a long time to come.
