"SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama limped off the court in the fourth quarter Wednesday night against the New York Knicks after his left knee buckled as he tried to secure a rebound under the basket. Wembanyama was injured with 10:32 left in the game with the Spurs trailing 106-92 as he battled under the basket with Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson for a rebound off a Keldon Johnson miss."
"The Spurs did not immediately provide an update on Wembanyama's status, though he appeared to tell Castle "I'm fine" as the guard helped him up. Wembanyama appeared to deliver the same message to the sellout crowd of 18,062 as hobbled off the floor headed to the locker room. He returned to the bench with 1:22 left to play wearing team warmups. He finished with 31 points with 13 rebounds in 24 minutes on the floor in the Spurs' 134-132 win."
