Victor Wembanyama News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Double-double streak snapped Friday Wembanyama racked up 17 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 117-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Wembanyama's streak of double-doubles ended at nine games Friday, but he finished just one rebound shy of keeping it alive, and he's also posted strong numbers in defensive stats such as steals and blocks. Over those 10 appearances, the French rookie is averaging 21.1 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 4.4 blocks and 2.0 steals while logging "only" 31.1 minutes per game.

Not on minutes restriction Wembanyama won't be on any restrictions during Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite sitting out one leg of San Antonio's back-to-backs earlier in the season, Wembanyama will receive a full workload Tuesday. The rookie phenom is averaging 31.6 minutes per contest across his last five appearances.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Wembanyama is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus Houston.

Impact Wembanyama produced 27 points (10-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes in his return from injury Monday against the Warriors. While there was some concern that he would be held out for rest against the Rockets, that doesn't appear to be the case, barring a late surprise, of course.

Fills stat sheet in loss Monday Wembanyama chipped in 27 points (10-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 112-102 loss to the Warriors.

Impact By now, no one should be surprised seeing Wembanyama recording a double-double and filling the stat sheet every time he steps on the court. The towering rookie wasn't at his best Monday, however, and that says a lot about his upside considering he still posted a 27-point, 14-rebound double-double. The rookie's status for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets is uncertain, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports, and if he ends up being ruled out, then Zach Collins would be in line for a start and a larger role.

Full go Monday, iffy for Tuesday Coach Gregg Popovich said Wembanyama (ankle) won't have any restrictions during Monday's matchup against the Warriors, but the rookie's status for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets...

Impact It's good to see Wembanyama back in the starting lineup after missing the last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he's not completely past the issue yet. It wouldn't be surprising to see Wembanyama sit out, or at least be limited, during back-to-back sets for the rest of the campaign. However, when he's available, Wembanyama should be able to put up his usual ridiculous stat lines. Over his last 21 appearances, the Rookie of the Year favorite has averaged 22.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 4.0 blocks and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks.

Not listed on injury report Wembanyama (ankle) isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As expected, Wembanyama will return to action Monday after missing the last two games due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie may be limited in his first game back, but he'll likely still start, pushing Zach Collins back to a bench role. Before his absence, Wembanyama recorded seven straight double-doubles and averaged 22.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 5.3 blocks and 2.3 steals in 30.9 minutes during that stretch.

Likely to play Monday Wembanyama (ankle) is expected to play Monday against the Warriors, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Wembanyama has missed the past two games for the Spurs, but the plan was always for him to return Monday barring a setback. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he will see how Wembanyama's ankle progresses this weekend, but there should be more clarity when the team releases their injury report Sunday.
