Speaking to reporter Remi Recerchon, per Maxime Aubin, the Spurs star said he hopes NBA Finals timing may prevent him from participating in the first window, but he fully intends to play in the August qualifiers.
"Of course, that's absolutely my goal," Wemby said. "But I hope I won't be able to make the first window – that would mean we went all the way to the NBA Finals. I hope the timing will be too tight (smiles). But for the August window, absolutely. That's my goal to be there. Knock on wood, if I'm healthy."
Wembanyama is having a standout season in San Antonio, averaging 24.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game.

He is shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from three-point range, demonstrating his ability to stretch the floor.
The Spurs are also thriving as a team. With a 38–16 record, they sit second in the highly competitive Western Conference, and Wembanyama's presence is a key reason for their success.
