SpursVictor Wembanyama Out Several Weeks With Left Calf Strain

An MRI confirmation has the team setting a cautious re-evaluation window given his recent health history.

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.
