NBA: Victor Wembanyama, injured in a knee, will miss a second consecutive game with the San Antonio Spurs

French phenomenon Victor Wembanyama, victim of a blow to his knee on Friday in the NBA against the Los Angeles Lakers, will miss a second consecutive game, Tuesday against Oklahoma City, the San Antonio Spurs announced. In the Spurs’ pre-match “medical report”, Wembanyama went from “uncertain” to “withdrawn” for the match against the Thunder.

The interior, named the best rookie (“rookie”) in the League last season, had received a blow to the right knee on Friday during a defensive action against Lakers pivot Anthony Davis, and had already been rested on Saturday against Dallas.

In good shape, Wembanyama (20 years old) had a successful match against the Lakers on Friday (28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks) without preventing a defeat for the Spurs (120-115). He briefly returned to the locker room after the clash against Davis before returning to the floor. The Frenchman can hope to play again on Thursday against the Utah Jazz.
