"Wembanyama suffered the injury in a collision with 76ers forward Paul George near halfcourt with 10:47 left in the second quarter. He subbed out after the play and headed to the locker room, before returning to the bench with 6:49 left in the first half."
"Wembanyama played 15:40, which will count toward eligibility for postseason awards as players are granted two exceptions to the requirement of playing 20 minutes in a game as long as they played at least 15 minutes."
"The Frenchman was coming off a string of three straight games in which he scored at least 30 points and tallied at least 15 rebounds with 3 blocks. The streak tied for the second-longest behind Shaquille O'Neal's four-game run in 1999."
