"Wembanyama logged just over 15 minutes, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds and three blocks. That appearance still counts toward league award criteria, though he will need to meet minimum playing time requirements in at least one of San Antonio's remaining games to stay eligible."
"Head coach Mitch Johnson said there was no immediate clarity on the extent of the injury but took some encouragement from the fact the 22-year-old had attempted to play on after the initial knock."
Victor Wembanyama suffered a rib injury during the second quarter of the Spurs' game against the 76ers and could not play in the second half. The injury occurred after a collision with Paul George. Although he briefly left the game, he returned but later requested to leave again before halftime. The Spurs confirmed he would not return due to a left rib contusion. Head coach Mitch Johnson noted the uncertainty of the injury's extent but found it positive that Wembanyama attempted to continue playing.
