nothing serious for Victor Vembanyama

News from Victor Vembanyama, left injured in the left knee On Wednesday evening, at victory of Spurs face auk Knicksand who still had to undergo examinations to find out the exact severity of his injury (and his eventual unavailability).

in the end, San Antonio Express-News reports that “Wemby” and his team can breathe, as an MRI taken during the day on Thursday showed no ligament damage. Accordingly, and as he suggested after the meeting, the Frenchman is “only” suffering from a minor physical problem and the Texas franchise says, in his injury reportsimple “pain”.

« I feel good, it’s just a little sore, but I’m very confident. I was confident and on the verge of getting back into the game, they had to restrain me he said on Wednesday. “ It was just hyperextension. (…) I expect to return for the next match, but I don’t know what the staff thinks. »

On the side of Saint Anthony, caution obviously remains complete with Victor Vembanyama, who will have to sit out Friday night in Indianapolis as a result. He’s not even on the road, and his presence isn’t guaranteed to welcome Portland on Saturday night in a back-to-back.

This will therefore lead to 13 the number of missed matches by Wembies this season and will have just five wildcards to qualify for the individual awards at the end of the season. Of course, that’s not a priority for Spurs, especially since they’ve done well for a month without their French interior, but it still remains a factor to watch closely.
