Zach Collins - Won't start but available Saturday Collins (rest) is not in the starting lineup to face the Wizards on Saturday. However, he will be available to play off the bench.
Victor Wembanyama - Starting Saturday Wembanyama (load management) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.
Impact After sitting the front half of San Antonio's back-to-back set on Friday, Wembanyama will rejoin the first unit Saturday. Zach Collins (ankle) is on track to play as well, but Wembanyama is in a boom spot against a Washington frontcourt where the only healthy center is Marvin Bagley.

Impact Cissoko has been sidelined since Jan. 6 due to a left ankle sprain. The rookie's next opportunity to take the court comes Monday against Philadelphia.
