SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The San Antonio Spurs said Monday that an MRI confirmed star Victor Wembanyama has a left calf strain.
The team didn't provide any more details, such as the degree of strain or timeline for recovery, which could be a few weeks if it's a mild strain.
Wembanyama underwent the MRI on Sunday, when he sat out of San Antonio´s victory against the Sacramento Kings.
He suffered the injury Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He had 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in the 109-108 loss.
Wembanyama is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and leads the league with 3.58 blocks per game.
San Antonio is off to its best start in a decade at 8-4, including a franchise-record 5-0 start.

Wembanyama was limited to 46 games last season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. He underwent surgery to help clear the blood clot and no long-term issues were expected.
