More fear than harm. After leaving his team prematurely due to a hyperextension of the left knee suffered against the Knicks on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, Victor Wembanyama was reassured, indicating to the press that he felt “good, just a little sore”.
The medical examinations carried out after the meeting went in his favor, according to information from ESPN which confirms that “the MRI taken today by Victor Wembanyama revealed nothing abnormal” and that “no ligament damage was noted”.
Before going out injured, “Wemby” once again proved irresistible, delivering one of his best matches of the regular season on a statistical level. With 31 points and 13 rebounds at 10/12 shooting in just 24 minutes.
He will miss at least one game
“I am very confident. I was actually on the verge of returning to the field. But they (the medical staff, Editor’s note) held me back, revealed the young interior after the meeting. I don’t know exactly what happened, but in the end it wasn’t that bad. It was just hyperextension, so it should be minimal. »
The 21-year-old Frenchman, who expected “to be back for the next match” with the Spurs, will ultimately miss the one against the Pacers on the night of Friday to Saturday. The 2.24 m giant remained in treatment in San Antonio, while his teammates were traveling to Indianapolis. It also remains uncertain for the Portland reception the next day.
The native of Chesnay (Yvelines) has already missed 12 games since the start of the season due to a left calf strain suffered against Golden State on November 14. He also had to miss the entire end of last season and be sidelined for 252 days due to a venous thrombosis in his shoulder.
