Wembanyama Dodges Serious Injury — Spurs Hit 60 Wins

The Spurs — and all of basketball — exhaled on Monday.

Victor Wembanyama underwent a clean MRI after suffering a rib contusion, and he's been listed as day-to-day moving forward. He's doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland, but there's confidence he'll play at least one of the team's final three regular-season games. San Antonio isn't taking any risks with their generational talent heading into the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Spurs hit 60 wins with a 115-102 victory over the 76ers — cementing the fastest rebuild to 60 wins in NBA history. Two years ago this team was in the lottery. Now they're a legitimate title contender with a 20-year-old alien leading the charge. The rest of the league should be terrified that this rib scare is the biggest obstacle Wemby has faced all season.
