Wembanyama Returns: Spurs Star Back in Training

It will almost be a month since Victor Wembanyama is away from the floors, because of his left calf strain. Initially absent for at least “two to three weeks”, he is slowly approaching four weeks of unavailability, but the Frenchman was able to take part this Sunday in collective training with Saint Anthony.

Ditto for Stephon Castle and Jordan McLaughlin who, like “Wemby”, are injured but have joined the Spurs in New Orleans, on the sidelines of their clash with the Pelicans, scheduled for Monday.

« It’s really amazing to see everyone back at work » appreciate Dylan Harper, who also had to be patient because of his calf, during November. “ We did well without those guys, but when they get to play again, you’ll see a whole different team. »

On the campus of Tulane University, Victor Wembanyama was therefore able to mark a new step in his recovery schedule. If the Frenchman is already out of the match against New Orleans, it is not yet ruled out seeing him back on the floor on Wednesday, in Los Angeles, during the NBA Cup quarter-final against the Lakers. For which it is listed “uncertain”.

Without its All-Star interior (26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3.6 blocks, 1.1 interception), San Antonio managed to hold on collectively, with seven victories and three defeats, led in particular by De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell.
