The 7-foot-1 inch center swatted a layup attempt from Orlando's Moe Wagner as time expired Wednesday, allowing the Spurs to hang onto a 114-112 road victory. Kornet pointed one hand to the crowd and held the other back as if he were shooting an arrow. Hugs and pats on the back from his San Antonio teammates followed. He beamed with pride after making the clutch play.
SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama will be sidelined for a few weeks due to a left calf strain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Monday. The Spurs are erring on the side of caution in bringing back the franchise cornerstone, who underwent an MRI on Monday. Listed as questionable early Sunday due to left calf tightness, Wembanyama was ruled out ahead of tip-off of the Spurs' victory against the Sacramento Kings.
As you look at the rest of the team and what we're trying to do, there is no question our priorities would be to bring Al and Luke back. Those guys are huge parts of this organization. They're going to have, I'm sure, plenty of options all over the place, and that's well-deserved, but I think that would be a priority. At the same time, I don't want to put pressure on them.
