The Spurs are erring on the side of caution in bringing back the franchise cornerstone, who underwent an MRI on Sunday. A source told ESPN that Wembanyama will be reevaluated in two to three weeks.
Listed as questionable early Sunday due to left calf tightness, Wembanyama was ruled out ahead of the tipoff for San Antonio’s victory against the Sacramento Kings.
“Obviously, we’ve seen around this league recently, the calf-tightness thing is not something you want to take lightly,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Sunday. “Don’t want to push it there.”
