Impact Wembanyama has missed two of the last four games due to an ankle injury, so this move is likely just precautionary. It's unclear which game the 2023 No. 1 overall pick will play in, but further clarity should surface when the Spurs release their initial injury report for Thursday's game sometime Wednesday night.

Good to go Tuesday Wembanyama (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against Utah, ESPN's Andrew Lopez reports.
Impact Wembanyama was held out of Saturday's game against Dallas after tweaking his ankle in warmups, but the Spurs made it very clear that his absence was a precaution. There are no reported restrictions for Wembanyama on Tuesday, although the Spurs will be watching him closely. Presumably, Zach Collins (knee) will come off the bench if he gets the green light to play.

Active for shootaround Wembanyama (ankle) is participating in morning shootaround in advance of Tuesday's game against Utah, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Impact Wembanyama is trending in the right direction to play Tuesday night, but San Antonio opting to exhibit an abundance of caution with the 19-year-old remains in play. He had been playing through right ankle soreness prior to tweaking the injury by stepping on a ballboy's foot in warm-ups Saturday. Wembanyama wanting to play through the aggravation Saturday was kiboshed by San Antonio, which is worthwhile context despite the rookie's seemingly quick healing.

Questionable for Tuesday Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Wembanyama twisted his ankle after stepping on a ballboy during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's loss to Dallas and was a late scratch. The Spurs will presumably be cautious with the No. 1 overall pick, so if Wembanyama is sidelined again, Zach Collins (knee) would likely draw another start at center.

A late scratch Saturday Wembanyama is a late scratch for Saturday's game versus Dallas with a right ankle injury, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Wembanyama has been playing through right ankle soreness in recent games, and right before Saturday's game was about to start, he stepped on a ballboy and tweaked it again. Wembanyama wanted to play anyways, but coach Gregg Popovich is holding him out as a precaution. Zach Collins will start in his place.

Poor showing Thursday Wembanyama notched seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Thursday's 114-95 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Wembanyama had to deal with Nikola Vucevic down low and struggled badly on offense, failing to hit double digits for the first time since a nine-point effort against the Clippers on Nov. 20. However, he still compensated the lack of scoring with strong numbers in other categories, particularly on the defensive end with three blocks and two steals. Over his last 10 contests, Wembanyama is averaging 18.0 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 blocks, 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game.
