San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama avoided a major injury after suffering a rib contusion and is listed as doubtful for the team’s upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
With the regular season winding down, the Spurs have three games remaining on their schedule. The team is optimistic Wembanyama will be able to play in at least one of those contests, which would allow him to meet the minimum games-played requirement to qualify for postseason awards.
What it means for San Antonio
Wembanyama’s availability is a central storyline for the Spurs as they close out the season. Beyond his immediate status against Portland, the focus is on whether he can return before the schedule ends to reach the eligibility threshold tied to league awards.
San Antonio will continue to monitor his rib contusion as it navigates its final stretch of games.
