Victor Wembanyama exits the Spurs' 115-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers due to a left rib contusion. This injury raises concerns for the rest of the season.
Wembanyama suffered the injury during a collision with Paul George in the second quarter. He played 15 minutes and scored 17 points, contributing to the Spurs' win before heading to the locker room. Coach Mitch Johnson reported no updates on the injury's severity post-game but noted Wembanyama's brief return to the bench.
The 22-year-old is a leading candidate for NBA Defensive Player of the Year and MVP, needing at least 20 minutes in one of the final three games to maintain eligibility for postseason awards. With an average of 24.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game, his performance has been pivotal for San Antonio this season.
