"San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a left calf strain. The team is choosing a careful approach with the 21-year-old, who had an MRI on Sunday. Reports claim that the Spurs plan to reassess his condition in two to three weeks as they monitor the injury. Wembanyama was initially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game because of tightness in his left calf, but he was ruled out shortly before tipoff."
"The injury comes after Wembanyama logged 38 minutes in a physical NBA Cup contest against the Golden State Warriors on Friday, where he delivered 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. It marked his third straight game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds, tying the longest such stretch of his career. Now in his third NBA season, Wembanyama is producing career-best averages in points (26.2), rebounds (12.9) and assists (4.0), and he currently leads the league with 3.6 blocks per game."
Victor Wembanyama will miss several weeks with a left calf strain after undergoing an MRI and with plans to reassess in two to three weeks. Wembanyama was initially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game because of left calf tightness, then was ruled out shortly before tipoff. San Antonio defeated the Sacramento Kings without him in the lineup. The organization is taking a cautious approach to avoid risking further calf issues. Wembanyama had logged 38 minutes in a recent NBA Cup game, producing 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Luke Kornet started in his place, scoring 13 points on 5-for-5 shooting and adding three blocks. Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo are expected to take on larger roles during this stretch. Wembanyama was seen wearing a small sleeve over his left calf and did not appear to be in visible discomfort.
