Victor Wembanyama Returns to Spurs Lineup With Minutes Restriction

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) will come off the bench and have a minutes restriction on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Due to a knee injury, Wembanyama has missed two games and was initially listed as questionable for the meeting with Memphis. Last month, when Wembanyama returned from a calf injury, he also had a bench role for a while, averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes as a reserve. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk will be less involved in the rotation with Wembanyama back.

Victor Wembanyama a Game-Time Decision For Tuesday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is a game-time decision Tuesday night when his team visits the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom participated in shootaround Tuesday morning and said he feels good. However, the Spurs are on the front end of a back-to-back and notoriously safe with managing injuries. Should he sit, Luke Kornet will pick up another start, with Kelly Olynyk operating as the second-string big. If Wembanyama gives it a go, Kornet is likely to move back to the bench, and Olynyk will be out of the rotation.

Victor Wembanyama Questionable Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom has missed a pair of games with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he has a chance to return to the lineup on Tuesday. However, as this marks the beginning of a back-to-back for San Antonio, Wembanyama could still sit out some more action this week. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk have had larger workloads with Wembanyama out of the lineup. Olynyk could fall out of the rotation once Wembanyama is back at 100 percent.

Devin Vassell to Miss "More Than a Few Games"

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (adductor) was injured in Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. An MRI confirmed an adductor strain, already costing him meetings with the Knicks and most recently, Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, Vassell is projected to miss additional contests moving ahead, with head coach Mitch Johnson stating that the 25-year-old will be sidelined for "more than a few games." Vassell's production is down this season compared to previous campaigns, although he's still averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. It's unknown how long he'll be on the shelf. In the meantime, Justin Champagnie is expected to replace him in the rotation. However, Dylan Harper, coming off a 22-point effort, should benefit more, especially if Victor Wembanyama (knee) remains out.

Devin Vassell Remains Sidelined Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. He will miss a second straight game due to an adductor strain. The 25-year-old likely also won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, as Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said prior to Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks that Vassell will be out for "more than a game or two." With Vassell out, Julian Champagnie stepped into the starting unit on Wednesday and had a career night with 36 points. Keldon Johnson, who notched 19 points and eight rebounds off the bench, also sees more action as a result of Vassell's absence.

Victor Wembanyama to Miss at Least One Game

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He hasn't traveled with the team to Indianapolis after hurting his left knee during Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks. Fortunately, an MRI on Thursday showed that the French superstar didn't suffer any ligament damage. Initially, Wembanyama announced that he expected to play on Friday night. However, he will sit out at least one game and is considered day-to-day. Sources have told ESPN that San Antonio will list Wembanyama as questionable for Saturday's home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Luke Kornet is set to start in Wembanyama's place on Friday, while Kelly Olynyk will get more burn off the bench.

Victor Wembanyama Expects to Play Next Game After Suffering Minor Knee Injury

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) was limited to 24 minutes in Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks but escaped serious injury. Wembanyama's left knee buckled when he tried to grab a rebound early in the fourth quarter. He was subbed out of the game with 10:32 remaining in the quarter, and Wembanyama didn't return to the contest. After the game, Wembanyama said he suffered a hyperextension and expected to be back for the next game. San Antonio continues the season with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. The team will probably be cautious with its superstar, meaning Wembanyama might still sit out some action this week even if he feels ready to play.

Stephon Castle Active on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (thumb) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Castle carried a questionable tag due to a sprained left thumb, but he has since been cleared for action ahead of tonight's tilt. The 21-year-old could be in line for a productive evening in all fantasy formats as he's posted averages of 20.0 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.1 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game across 10 appearances in December. In his last outing on Monday in a loss to Cleveland, he finished with 15 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 34 minutes.

Devin Vassell Ruled Out for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) won't play on New Year's Eve against the New York Knicks. He has sustained a left adductor strain and could miss more than one game. Keldon Johnson or Julian Champagnie will replace Vassell in the starting unit, with Dylan Harper also in a position to see more minutes. On Wednesday, another chunk of playing time would open up in the rotation if Stephon Castle (thumb) misses the game. He is currently tagged as questionable on the injury report.

Stephon Castle Iffy for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (thumb) may be unavailable for the final game of 2025 on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, as the team has listed him as questionable for the matchup. The 2025 Rookie of the Year has sprained his left thumb. Devin Vassell (adductor) has already been ruled out for the game, so San Antonio could have two spots to fill in the starting lineup. Dylan Harper looks the likeliest replacement for Castle. The 19-year-old rookie has played well throughout the season, but a spot in the first unit would enhance his fantasy value.

De'Aaron Fox Ready to Rock Monday

San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (adductor) has shed the questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence on Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Julian Champagnie, who filled in for Fox in the starting unit on Saturday against the Utah Jazz, will move back to the bench. Fox took Saturday off after a superb Christmas Day debut, during which he produced 29 points on 12-for-19 shooting in a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. His recent play has been inconsistent, and he'll aim to find more stability with his performance on Monday.

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against the Cavaliers

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (adductor, illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He didn't suit up for Saturday's loss to the Jazz because of adductor tightness. The 28-year-old is also battling an illness. Justin Champagnie entered the starting lineup versus Utah, although it was Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper benefiting the most by combining for 34 points, 17 rebounds, and 13 assists from off the bench. If Fox misses another game, Champagnie will presumably remain with the first-five, with Harper, Johnson, and Stephon Castle in line for expanded roles behind Victor Wembanyama.

Victor Wembanyama Returns to Starting Lineup Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama will return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the Utah Jazz, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Since missing 12 games due to a calf injury, the Spurs have used the French superstar off the bench to better manage his minutes. He has averaged only 21.7 minutes per game since making his comeback. His return to the first unit suggests that Wembanyama is now ready to start logging 30-plus minutes regularly again. Luke Kornet will drop to the bench and won't have much fantasy value if Wembanyama starts logging his usual minutes. Julian Champagnie will also rejoin the starters on Saturday, filling in for De'Aaron Fox (adductor).

De'Aaron Fox Sits Out Saturday's Game

San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (adductor) won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. He picked up a questionable tag on the initial injury report and has now been ruled out due to an adductor issue. With Fox sidelined, Julian Champagnie could land back in the first unit on Saturday, though Dylan Harper is also a candidate to start. Meanwhile, players like Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama could get more scoring opportunities in an excellent matchup against the Jazz, who have the NBA's second-worst defense.

De'Aaron Fox Appears on Injury Report for Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (adductor) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz after landing on the injury report following Christmas Day. Fox handled his usual workload in that contest, finishing with 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 63.2 percent from the field. If Fox is unavailable, ball-handling duties would need redistribution within a crowded guard group, where Dylan Harper has averaged 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 19.9 minutes over his last five games, while Julian Champagnie has logged 20.9 minutes with modest production. Both have seen their roles tighten when the Spurs backcourt is fully healthy.

Victor Wembanyama Ready to Take on Thunder

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (calf) will be active on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team initially listed Wembanyama as questionable for the game but has now upgraded him to available. Wembanyama has not played more than 25 minutes in five games since returning from a calf injury. Yet, he has still averaged a double-double, producing 19.3 points and 10.3 rebounds. His first game back from injury was against the Thunder, and even the NBA's best defense couldn't handle him, as Wembanyama finished his comeback game with 22 points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes.

Victor Wembanyama Participates in Morning Shootaround

NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports that San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (calf) participated in morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the reigning champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The French superstar is still listed as questionable on the team's official injury report, but his availability during shootaround will likely lead to him suiting up this evening. Wembanyama continues to manage a calf injury that recently kept him out of action for nearly a month. Since returning, he has received limited playing time but has still produced at a high level, averaging 19.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per contest. If the 21-year-old has a setback and is unable to take the floor, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk will take on the available center minutes.

Victor Wembanyama Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (calf) is considered questionable for Tuesday's intriguing matchup against the reigning champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The French superstar continues to manage a calf injury that recently kept him sidelined for nearly a month. Since returning, Wembanyama has averaged only 20.3 minutes across five appearances. Despite the limited playing time, he has still provided high-level fantasy production, posting 19.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. If Wembanyama takes the night off on Tuesday, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk will share the center minutes.

Victor Wembanyama Coming off the Bench on Tuesday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will come off the bench in Tuesday's NBA Cup Final against the Knicks. He recently returned from a 12-game absence for Saturday's win over Oklahoma City. Although he also came off the bench for that one, he still finished with an impressive 22 points, nine boards, two blocks, and one steal. There's a good chance Wemby plays a little more than the 20 minutes he logged in his last outing, making him a must-start in all fantasy setups.

Victor Wembanyama May Come Off the Bench Again Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama may start Tuesday's NBA Cup final against the New York Knicks on the bench. The French superstar came off the bench for the first time in his career when he returned from a calf strain in Saturday's semifinal against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wembanyama sat out the entire first quarter and played only seven minutes in the first half. He logged 13:20 after halftime, recording 22 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in the game. Even with a limited workload, Wembanyama can make a huge impact, and his fantasy production isn't dependent on whether he starts or not.
