The Spurs announced that the French star will be playing this Tuesday. He is now warming up ahead of the showdown against the reigning champs.
Head coach Mitch Johnson initially told reporters that Wembanyama will be a game-time decision. But by looking at how the Spurs star is moving well, it appears that they are convinced enough that he can rally them against the Thunder.
Wembanyama notably missed 12 consecutive games because of a calf strain. He came off the bench in the last four games under strict minute restrictions.
This season, he is averaging 24.4 points, 12.3 boards and 3.3 blocks.
Tuesday marks the first night of back-to-back meetings between the Spurs and the Thunder. Wembanyama and San Antonio will face Oklahoma City again on Christmas Day.
