On November 3, the NBA regular-season game was defeated by the Suns. Wenbanyama played for 34 minutes. He made 4 of 14 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. He made 6 turnovers and 4 fouls. He was prevented by the Suns' marking and double-teaming strategies. He played a heart-breaking battle and suffered his first defeat of the season.

Challenged the Suns away from home. In the first quarter, the Spurs trailed 24-31 by 7 points. Wenban Yama came into the first quarter and scored 0 of 2 shots in 8 minutes. He only contributed 3 rebounds and 1 assist. This was the first time Wenban failed to score in a single quarter this season. During the period, Wenban tried to get stronger and was blocked by Mawei.

The Spurs were not only suppressed in the second quarter, but also lost another 11 points 28-39 in a single quarter. After halftime, the Spurs were already 18 points behind. It was not until 1 minute and 07 seconds left in the first half that Vumbanyama scored his first point of the game with an easy layup in the penalty area.

At the last moment of the first half, Wenbanyama was fouled by the Suns while holding the ball. Castle stepped up to defend Wenban, stepped forward to argue and pointed angrily at Goodwin, and received a technical foul. Spurs coach Mitch also received a technical foul.

It is also worth mentioning that Harper, the Spurs' second-place pick, was accidentally injured while defending and limped off the field and returned to the locker room. Later, the Spurs announced that Harper injured his left calf and would not return in this game.

In the third quarter, the Spurs continued to be rubbed by the sun. Wenbanyama was still in a sluggish mood on the court. He raised his hand to hit Booker's neck with the ball and received an offensive foul. Then he made a mistake again with the ball and missed two shots. After three quarters, the Spurs fell behind 78-102 to 24 points, and fell behind to 31 points during the period. During the interval, Wenbanyama's face was full of frustration and helplessness.

In the last quarter, Wenban missed consecutive three-pointers and was intercepted by Goodwin with the ball. After that, Wenban made a layup in the penalty area and blocked Iguodaro. He continued to lead the team's counterattack with an alley-oop dunk and a three-pointer. He clenched his fists and roared to vent his emotions. After that, the Suns once again widened the point difference 7-0. With 4 minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, the Spurs withdrew from Wenban. Because they were too far behind, they had no choice but to admit defeat early.

The Spurs' five-game winning streak at the start of the season was ended, and they suffered their first defeat of the season. Wenbanyama played an extremely bad game. According to the schedule, the Spurs will challenge the Lakers in their next game on October 6.
