Victor Wembanyama Returns After Early Knee Scare Against Bucks

He exited briefly after contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo, a worrying scene given his recent knee trouble.

Overview

  • Wembanyama went down early in the first quarter after apparent knee-to-knee contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo under the Bucks basket with 9:18 on the clock.
  • He rose and hobbled off the floor unassisted toward the locker room as San Antonio’s medical staff and CEO R.C. Buford followed.
  • He returned to the bench by the end of the first quarter and was back on the court to start the second.
  • The Spurs had not issued an immediate medical update as outlets labeled the situation a developing story.
  • He previously sustained a hyperextended knee on Dec. 31 against the Knicks and missed the following two games.
