Overview
- Wembanyama sustained the left calf strain in Friday’s game against the Warriors and sat out Sunday’s win over the Kings.
- He is expected to miss at least two to three weeks, with a formal return timetable to be set after he is re-evaluated.
- Head coach Mitch Johnson said the team will be careful with calf strains and will not rush the center back.
- The 21-year-old is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and a league-leading blocks rate through 12 games for San Antonio.
- San Antonio, off to a 9–4 start, loses its top performer as he returns from last season’s deep vein thrombosis that limited him to 46 games.
