Shines in win over Washington Wembanyama finished with 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and six blocks across 28 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 win over Washington.
Impact Wembanyama is getting fantasy managers accustomed to these stat-stuffing performances every time he steps on the court, though his contributions, particularly on the defensive end, sparked San Antonio's fourth-quarter comeback this time. The star rookie continues to make a huge impact on both ends of the court for the rebuilding Spurs, and Wembanyama is averaging 23.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 3.5 blocks per game in eight January contests.

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.

JANUARY 19 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Officially ruled out for Friday Wembanyama (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wembanyama said after Wednesday's loss to the Celtics that he'd sit out Friday and suit up Saturday against the Wizards, and he's now officially been ruled out for the first half of the back-to-back set. While he should be back in action Saturday, Zach Collins (ankle), Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates to see increased run Friday.

Produces 27 points in loss Wembanyama (rest) registered 27 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Celtics.
Impact The rookie phenom scored 20 or more points for the eighth time in his last nine games, although Wembanyama didn't add in his usual secondary contributions. Over that stretch, the 20-year-old center is averaging 24.1 points, 8.9 boards, 3.3 blocks, 3.1 assists and 1.8 threes while shooting 54.2 percent from the floor in only 24.4 minutes a night. The Spurs are keeping a very close eye on his workload, and Wembanyama will sit out Friday's game on the front half of a back-to-back set, but he's already showing growth in his skills since being the first overall pick in the 2023 Draft.

Impact After pacing San Antonio in points and surpassing the 20-point mark for the seventh time in his last eight games, Wembanyama announced he wouldn't suit up for Friday's back-to-back opener but would play Saturday. He's yet to play in both legs of a back-to-back set this season, so fantasy managers should consider Friday's absence a rest day. In his stead, expect Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili to handle the brunt of the center work.
