San Antonio makes Victor Wembanyama’s final decision for the NBA Cup Finals
San Antonio Spurs have made a final decision regarding Victor Vembanyama in front NBA Cup Championship game against the New York Knicks in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Vembanjama made a brilliant return to the court on December 13 after a month’s absence due to a calf injury. He came off the bench in the Spurs’ semifinal victory over the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder, reaching the NBA Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Head Coach Mitch Johnson provided the final update on Vembanyama’s availability for the title game, per insider Brett Siegel. He revealed that the star big man will not return to the starting line-up yet as he will come off the bench again like last game.
“Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson says the plan for Victor Wembanyama “will look a lot like last game. Johnson says Wemby could see more minutes, but that will depend on how the game progresses with stoppages and fatigue,” Siegel wrote.
Vembanjama will not start and will come off the bench tonight in the NBA Cup against the Knicks.
