With over one minute left in the first half, it can be viewed that Dort suddenly tackled Wembanyama, who was positioned for a rebound battle as De'Aaron Fox drained the mid-range jumper.
Dort's hard bump hit Wembanyama's left knee, who went down on the ground and held his calf.
Fans on X (Formerly Twitter) offered a negative reaction to what has been a reckless act that was pulled by Dort.
The Spurs are notably operating with strict precautionary measures on handling Wembanyama's health, who missed 12 consecutive games earlier this season due to a left calf strain.
He came off the bench in the last six games since he returned for San Antonio.
With 19 markers and 11 boards, Wembanyama powered the Spurs over the Thunder for the third time this season, leading his team to a 117-101 Christmas Day win.
