During the night from Sunday to Monday, the San Antonio Spurs scored a third consecutive victory against the Washington Wizards (113-124), with Victor Wembanyama once again used off the bench. Since his return from injury, the Frenchman’s playing time has been limited and this situation could continue.
On the move on the floor of Washington Wizards during the night from Sunday to Monday, the San Antonio Spurs didn’t even need a “big” Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman finished the match with 14 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, in just 21:30 minutes of play, during his team’s 21st victory (113-124) this season.
Wembanyama, a substitute status set to last?
Since his return from injury, Victor Wembanyama is used sparingly by San Antonio Spurs and did not play more than 22 minutes in a single match. Luke Kornetauthor of 20 points and 12 rebounds against the Wizardshas retained its status as holder and it is Wemby who comes off the bench now, but for how long?
“This will be the plan until it’s not.”
« This will be the plan until it’s not. The season is long and demanding », replied Mitch Johnsonwhen the question was asked before the match against the Wizardsin comments relayed by The Team. « We must continue to see day by day. » We will perhaps have an element of answer during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, while the Spurs will host the Western Conference leader and reigning champion, theOklahoma City Thunder.
