Wembanyama left the Spurs' win over the 76ers with a bruised rib after a collision with Paul George. He had 17 points and 3 blocks in just 15 minutes. His status for the final week is unknown.
Victor Wembanyama's final week of the regular season just got a lot more uncertain. The Spurs' franchise cornerstone left their win over the Philadelphia 76ers with a bruised rib after a hard collision with Paul George in the first half.
Wembanyama had already put up 17 points and 3 blocks in just 15 minutes before exiting — a reminder of how dominant he is even in abbreviated stints. The Spurs won without him, but the concern isn't about one regular season game. San Antonio has already clinched a playoff spot as the 2 seed in the West, and they need Wemby healthy.
There's no official timeline yet. The Spurs have 4 games left in the regular season before the playoffs tip off on April 18. If it's just a bruise, he could be back in a few days. But with nothing to play for seeding-wise, don't be surprised if the Spurs play it safe and hold him out until the postseason.
