San Antonio Spurs center forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is slated to miss Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, per NBA reporter Matthew Tynan. This will be the second half of a back-to-back that Wembanyama will sit out for ankle injury management. Notably, the superstar big man finished with 41 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-113 victory over Golden State. Looking ahead, he should be back in action on Saturday against Denver. In the meantime, Luke Kennard and Mason Plumlee are in line for expanded roles while Wembanyama is out.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will play Saturday against Indiana after being listed as questionable with right ankle soreness. The All-Star big man continues to produce elite fantasy numbers when active. Over his last five games, he has averaged 28.8 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes. He remains an automatic start in all formats because of his rare ability to contribute across every category. His presence keeps Luke Kornet in a limited reserve role, while De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle should continue handling key scoring responsibilities.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Charlotte after missing Thursday's loss to Denver due to right ankle soreness. If he remains out, Luke Kornet could draw another start after posting three rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 25 minutes, offering some deep-league appeal for defensive stats. Mason Plumlee may also see limited backup minutes. Wembanyama's absence would also keep more offensive responsibility on De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, while Kornet could be a blocks streamer if he draws another start.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets after testing the injury during warmups but not feeling ready to play. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk are candidates to absorb the available frontcourt minutes, with Kornet the likely starter. Kornet finished with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in 11 minutes last game and could offer deep-league streaming value for rebounds and blocks if his role expands. Olynyk remains a speculative option after a recent DNP, while De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle could see slightly higher usage.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old has been a fixture in the lineup since January, so any absence would be notable for fantasy managers. If he sits, Luke Kornet could move into a larger role after logging 11 minutes with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in the last game. Wembanyama remains a must-start if active, while Kornet would profile as a deep-league streamer for blocks and rebounds. De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle could also see slight usage bumps if Wembanyama is ruled out.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama delivered 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting with two rebounds in 10 minutes during Team World's 48-45 loss to Team Stripes, finishing the event with 33 total points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and four triples. Managers heading into the fantasy playoffs get a reminder of the ceiling. Wembanyama is averaging 26.6 points and 2.2 blocks over his last five outings, giving him top-tier impact in points, boards, and defensive categories. San Antonio's offense continues to flow through him, limiting high-end scoring upside for De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (calf) will play on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports. Despite dealing with a sore left calf, Wembanyama has shaken off a questionable tag. The French star will look to produce a bounce-back performance following a quiet outing in Saturday's loss to Charlotte. Across 31 minutes, Wembanyama managed only 16 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal. After swatting away nine shots over his previous two outings, Wembanyama didn't register a single block against the Hornets.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will shed the questionable tag and play through a left knee bone bruise. The knee issue hasn't impacted his performance as he finished with 21 points, six rebounds, and three blocks across 26 minutes on Saturday. The Spurs have been monitoring his minutes lately, but it hasn't stopped him from being an elite fantasy option. Fantasy managers can safely get Wembanyama back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

San Anthonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (calf) is expected to play in Saturday's NBA Cup meeting with the Thunder after missing the last 12 games due to a calf strain. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick was performing at an MVP-caliber level before going on the shelf, averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists (all career-highs), 3.6 blocks, and 1.1 steals. Wemby will presumably see fewer than the 34.7 minutes he's averaged during the 2025 campaign, although that shouldn't stop fantasy managers from plugging him back into their starting lineups. On the other hand, DFS participants should proceed with caution, considering his hefty rostering cost as well as a tough matchup on the horizon against arguably the best defensive team in the National Basketball Association. Luke Kornet, who has been starting in place of Wembanyama, will almost certainly head back to the bench, eliminating nearly all of his fantasy value.
