Top rebounder in return Wembanyama logged 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-101 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Wembanyama missed San Antonio's previous contest due to rest, returning New Year's Eve while leading the Spurs in rebounds and ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Wembanyama has recorded at least 20 points and seven boards in 12 games this season.

Removed from injury report Wembanyama (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
Impact No surprises here, as Wembanyama was simply given the night off Friday against Portland. San Antonio's next back-to-back set begins on Jan. 12, so fantasy managers will need to prepare for another possible maintenance day.

Officially ruled out Wembanyama (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Impact As expected, Wembanyama won't play in the second half of a back-to-back set after dealing with an ankle sprain over the last couple of weeks. Due to ongoing ankle issues, the rookie has appeared in just three of the team's last five games, but he popped for 30 points, six rebounds, six assists and seven blocks in just 24 minutes during Thursday's win over Portland. Per McDonald, Wembayama wants to play. However, the decision to hold him out was made by the medical staff, and despite Wembanyama's wishes, periodic rest days during back-to-back sets may be a regular occurrence for the rest of the campaign.

Unlikely to play Friday Coach Gregg Popovich said Wednesday that Wembanyama likely won't play Friday against the Trail Blazers due to rest purposes, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Popovich said that Wembanyama wouldn't play in both halves of the Spurs' back-to-back set to close out the week, and the rookie appeared in Thursday's win over Portland. He was a versatile contributor Thursday, tallying 30 points, six rebounds, six assists and seven blocks in 24 minutes, but he should get a night off in the second half of the back-to-back. Assuming Wembanyama is sidelined, Zach Collins, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan could see larger roles.

Dominant at both ends of court Wembanyama ended Thursday's 118-105 win over the Trail Blazers with 30 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists and seven blocks across 24 minutes.
Impact It's the third time this season Wembanyama has scored at least 30 points, while the seven rejections were one short of the career-high eight he recorded against the Grizzlies on Nov. 18. The teenage phenom -- Wembanyama turns 20 the first week of January -- has multiple blocks in eight straight games since taking over as the Spurs' starting center, averaging 18.5 points, 12.1 boards, 4.5 blocks, 4.1 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.

Impact Wembanyama was set to sit out one leg of San Antonio's back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. However, the rookie phenom's absence from the injury report Thursday indicates that he will sit out Friday. This shouldn't alarm fantasy managers, as Wembanyama is only resting due to caution and not because of a long-term injury.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fills stat sheet in another loss Wembanyama contributed 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, five blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 130-118 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Wembanyama didn't have his best shooting performance, but he remains an excellent fantasy alternative across all formats even when his shot isn't falling, as the big man continues to rack up stats and fill the box score every time he steps on the court. He won't play in both halves of the back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers on Dec. 28 and Dec. 29, but it's uncertain which game he'll miss.
