Wembanyama, who has been on a minutes restriction due to a previous ankle sprain, played 28 minutes and his restriction might be lifted soon.
Jeremy Sochan also played a key role in the Spurs' victory, scoring 23 points and playing outstanding defense.
The Spurs overcame a 12-point deficit with 5 minutes left to beat the Wizards 131-127, ending a four-game losing streak.
