Victor Wembanyama will miss his second game of the regular season since he will not play in the meeting scheduled in Milwaukee this evening. The number 1 of the last Draft was withdrawn due to pain in his right ankle.
The situation would not be more worrying than that, since the situation of “Wemby” is described as ” day by day “ on the injured list. It would be more a question of taking care of the interior during occasional pain, a week after a great twist against the Rockets. Too bad for the Frenchman who was happy to challenge Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“I like the way he plays because he is always aggressive and he scares his opponents,” Wembanyama declared. “I really try to take inspiration from him.”
Eight “double-doubles” in a row!
The Spurs are also thinking about the rest of their road trip with two more games to manage, in Chicago on Thursday then in Dallas on Saturday. Note that apart from Charles Bassey, the rest of Gregg Popovich's squad will be available.
Second blocker in the NBA with 3 blocks per game, Victor Wembanyama had just had eight consecutive “double-double” games, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to achieve such a series.
