NBAAlready diminished, Victor Wembanyama apparently aggravated his injury against the Rockets. Announced unavailable for the match against Sacramento this Thursday, he has just been the subject of an important update in view of the upcoming clash between Spurs and Warriors.
While his physique was surrounded by many questions and concerns before his arrival in the league, he has so far only missed six games this season.
Victor Wembanyama has so far been reassuring in the NBA regarding his state of health, announced by some to be fragile.
However, his recent difficult outing against Houston was not without consequences in this regard .
Wemby absent or present against the Warriors? The last news
Already injured in his right ankle a few weeks ago, Wembanyama seems to have suffered a slight relapse against the Rockets.
In any case, this is what the announcement of his package for this Thursday’s trip to Sacramento suggested .
It now remains to be seen how long Spurs will have to do without his services. A first trend is just beginning to
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is not with the team in Sacramento. He returned to SA from Houston on Wednesday (via van!) to be evaluated by Spurs docs.
Still a chance he rejoins the team before Saturday's game at Golden State.

Hit in the ankle, Victor Wembanyama is not with his team in Sacramento. He returned to San Antonio from Houston on Wednesday to be evaluated by Spurs doctors. There’s still a chance he rejoins his teammates before Saturday’s game at Golden State.
After a first visit last November, Wemby could therefore return to the Chase Center and play a new duel there against Stephen Curry .
For this, however, it will be necessary for the medical staff of his franchise to authorize him, which is not a guarantee given the precaution he has shown towards him this season. The fact that the French prodigy returned to San Antonio would not be a bad warning sign in any case:
Part of the reason Vic returned to SA was proximity to Houston.
Had he injured the ankle in Sacramento, he would have remained with the team for the remainder of the trip.

Vic’s return to San Antonio is partly due to the city’s proximity to Houston. If he had injured his ankle in Sacramento, he would have stayed with the team for the end of the road trip.
Certainly returned to San Antonio in the middle of the Spurs road trip, Victor Wembanyama remains likely to join them for the poster against the Warriors on Saturday. A scenario that San Antonio fans obviously have to keep their fingers crossed for.
