Tarris Reed Helps Spurs Claim First Season Win

San Antonio rookie center Tarris Reed Jr. helped spark the Spurs’ 122-106 win over Dallas, their first victory of the season, after entering a tight game to start the fourth quarter. In roughly seven minutes, he scored his first official NBA points, grabbed three rebounds and chased down a loose ball, bringing the energy and physicality the team sought from its third center. Reed’s effort helped San Antonio turn a 92-89 lead into a more comfortable advantage, earning praise from teammates and coach Mitch Johnson. His brief but effective stint also intensified discussion about the Spurs’ center rotation, as Luke Kornet had struggled and Reed’s rebounding could help fill a depth need behind Victor Wembanyama.
