SAN ANTONIO (AP) --- The San Antonio Spurs said Monday that an MRI confirmed
star Victor Wembanyama has a left calf strain.
The team didn't provide any more details, such as the degree of strain or
timeline for recovery, which could be a few weeks if it's a mild strain.
Wembanyama underwent the MRI on Sunday, when he sat out of San Antonio's
victory against the Sacramento Kings.
He suffered the injury Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He had 26
points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in the 109-108 loss.
Wembanyama is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and leads the
league with 3.58 blocks per game.
San Antonio is off to its best start in a decade at 8-4, including a
franchise-record 5-0 start.
Wembanyama was limited to 46 games last season after being diagnosed with deep
vein thrombosis. He underwent surgery to help clear the blood clot and no
long-term issues were expected.
