Spurs have officially listed Wemby (bruised knee) as doubtful for Tuesday night against OKC after saying after practice he would be listed as questionable.
He sat out Saturday’s loss at Dallas after suffering the injury in a collision with Anthony Davis on Friday night. – 3:39 PM

Wow, even with his 50-point game last week, Wemby wasn’t a nominee for the Western Conference player of the week. – 3:32 PM

Wemby isn’t just blocking shots. He’s also altering them at a potentially historic rate.
Opponents are shooting 37% on dunks/layups when he’s the nearest defender. Would be easily the lowest number for a qualifying player since Second Spectrum began tracking that stat in 2013-14 – 10:11 AM

Injury report turned into league has Wemby as questionable to play tonight with a right knee contusion.
Wemby got hit in knee area last night with Davis, left court, then returned to finished out game.
Tre Jones is probable. Coach Johnson said he could play today or Tuesday pic.x.com/lXBqiMQzBL – 2:21 PM

More on this storyline
At 7-foot-3 with an eight-foot wingspan, Wembanyama was known for his incredible measurables and fluidity entering the league. However, fellow Frenchman and former Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah pointed to another attribute when describing the 20-year-old’s impact. “I think his best skill is his intelligence,” Noah told Tommy Alter on The Young Man and the Three. “You can’t take away the fact that he’s 7-foor-4, he can jump to the sky, he can jump to the moon. He’s a hell of a player. His mobility, you can’t teach those things. Then you add in his IQ, him going to sleep early, reading books, all those things that we learn about him. I was blessed to meet his family. Big shout out to his mom and his pops as well for raising just like a good human, he’s solid all around. I think defensively, obviously, when you think you have an open three and Wemby is around, you might think you’re open when you’re not open.” -via Clutch Points / November 18, 2024
