Grammy-winning singer-songwriter John Legend got a chance to meet San Antonio Spurs stars Victor Wembanyama and Harrison Barnes ahead of the team’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, March 16.

The Spurs shared a photo of the legend and his son, Miles Theodore Stephens, taking a selfie with Wembley and Barnes after the game. Of course, they were coming off a win, so Vembanyama and Barnes were smiling.

Given Legend’s celebrity status, it’s no surprise that he sat courtside with his son during the game. He and his son were enjoying the game as the Spurs overcame the deficit to win their 50th game of the year.

Victor Wembanyama leads Spurs to win number 50

Early on, things were not looking good for the Spurs against the Clippers. They fell behind 17-3 just minutes after the game started, but they didn’t hold on for long.

Ultimately, San Antonio came out on top with Stephen Cassel’s 23 points. Wemby had 21 points, a team-leading 13 rebounds and two assists. Barnes also scored eight points in 18 minutes off the bench.

Currently, the Spurs are in second place in the Western Conference behind the 53–15 Oklahoma City Thunder. Fortunately, they have a seven-game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers, who are in third place in the conference.

The team the Spurs just beat, the Clippers, is .500 at 34-34. This puts them in eighth place in the Western Conference and on the verge of playoff contention.

Wembley is having one of the best seasons of his career. In his third year, he averaged 24.3 points (at the top of his career), 11.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He also averages one steal and three blocks per game.

He was the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft. Vembanyama has since become a focal point for Spurs, and he is the team’s leading scorer during the 2025–26 season.

‘Resurgence’ is the word for Goncalo Guedes at Real Sociedad as he smiles after ‘difficult years’ at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

This is according to El Mundo Nacional. The Spanish newspaper has today covered the winger and his return to form with El Real.

The newspaper reports that Guedes had struggled to find ‘his place in the world’ after causing a sensation in Valencia in 2017. Which led to a €40m move. Four years later, Wolves took him to the Premier League for €32.6m.

However, he played only 51 matches for the club, scoring seven and assisting six. His move to Molineux did not work out, being considered one of his most high-profile failures.

Wolves go out after tough debt

Loans to Benfica and Villarreal also failed to ignite the spark. That prompted a return to Spain last summer, with Real Sociedad paying €4m for his services.

He has now become a ‘game-changer’ at the club and is expected to take them to the Copa del Rey final this season. His smile has returned after ‘tough years’ at Wolves and injuries at Benfica.

He truly is Real Sociedad’s ‘attacking engine’, proving productive with seven goals and seven assists in 31 games so far.

It has been a season of ‘resurgence’, forming a wonderful understanding with Mikel Oyarzabal to lead Sociedad to an eighth and possible cup glory.

He currently leads the assists charts at the club and is trailing Oyarzabal in the goalscoring charts. He even has one eye on the World Cup, despite Portugal not calling him up until June 2022.

England in the rearview

It’s another sign of how much things have changed for him since leaving Wolves in the summer.

Guedes himself has also talked about the change. Sport Witness Cover Comments Last month he was asked what he wanted after his plight at Wolves.

He has found it and frankly, this season has been nothing less than a ‘resurgence’ for him. The player Wolves thought they were getting has once again resurfaced and Real Sociedad are benefiting.
