How serious will Victor Wembanyama’s injury be assessed? Recently bothered by his ankle, the French prodigy was shaken again this Tuesday evening in the NBA against the Dallas Mavericks. At the very end of the match, during a duel with Luka Doncic, the interior of the San Antonio Spurs seemed to suffer. But it is impossible to know more since the Texan franchise has not provided any details since.
Victor Wembanyama didn’t have a very good evening this Tuesday. While he remained on a historic performance during a victory against the Brooklyn Nets, the French phenomenon was more discreet against the Dallas Mavericks of Luka Doncic et Kyrie Irving. At least, offensively since alongside his 12 small points and three assists, he still achieved eight defensive rebounds and six blocks. Enough to place him a few weeks before the vote for the defensive player of the year in the NBA.

Wemby injured?
But the main question at the end of the meeting, lost by Spurs 113-107, concerns the physical state of the Frenchman. Indeed, Wemby suffered a new ankle injury after contact with Luka Doncic less than 50 seconds from the end of the match. He quickly began to limp. And if the shock does not portend anything very serious, the silence of San Antonio makes more than one shudder. Especially since the former Mets 92 has had some problems with his ankle since the start of the season.
“No one knows if there is a problem or not”
In short, the Texan franchise did not confirm anything at all after the meeting. However, the journalists present at the press conference tried to obtain further information. Matthew Tynan spoke about the situation via his X account: “I asked Pop and the staff about Wemby’s ankle/leg after that clash with Luka, but no one knows if there is a problem or not . They said he performed his post-match routine normally. Victor didn’t speak tonight, so we’ll know more this Thursday. » So, we will have to wait for the usual injury report to be determined.
