Victor Wembanyama is out for the San Antonio Spurs' clash with the Denver Nuggets due to right ankle soreness. The Spurs confirm this decision just 45 minutes before tipoff against Denver and superstar Nikola Jokic. Wembanyama, who was listed as questionable, tested his ankle before the game but will not play. Coach Mitch Johnson emphasizes the focus on Wembanyama's well-being, stating they consider this a short-term issue. Wembanyama needs to participate in 13 of the Spurs' final 16 games to qualify for end-of-season awards, as the NBA requires players to log at least 20 minutes in 65 games during the regular season. He has played in 51 games this season, with an additional game credited from the NBA Cup Final.
