Wembanyama Returns From Knee Knock as Spurs Rout Bucks 119-101

The 22-year-old returned after a knee-to-knee bump, continuing a season of cautious minutes management.

Overview

  • San Antonio beat Milwaukee 119-101 as Victor Wembanyama logged 22 points and 10 rebounds in about 22 minutes, hitting 5-of-6 from three.
  • He left early after a knee-to-knee collision with Giannis Antetokounmpo, returned to start the second quarter, and later called the contact a benign bump.

  • The win moved the Spurs to 28-13 and back into second place in the Western Conference.
