Following tonight’s loss against the Philadelphia 76ers, Wemby revealed his mantra for this season. The last-seeding Spurs managed to win only 15 games so far. Reflecting on the record, the 7 ‘ 4 revealed that he would “stay humble” while winning and try not to “collapse” during the losses. Above all, he sternly disclosed when he would finally celebrate. He said, “I think the only time we’ll celebrate a win for many days and weeks is when we win the whole thing.”
