Wembanyama to miss Spurs’ NBA game Friday at Indiana: reports

Washington (United States) (AFP) – Victor Wembanyama will miss San Antonio’s NBA game on Friday at Indiana after suffering a hyper-extended left knee in a Spurs victory over New York, according to multiple reports on Thursday. ESPN and the San Antonio Express-News reported that the 21-year-old French star did not make the trip to Indianapolis and will receive more care in Texas despite an MRI on Thursday that showed no ligament damage.

Wembanyama, who turns 22 on Sunday, will be listed as questionable for Saturday’s home game against Portland, ESPN reported. The next Spurs game after that is Tuesday at Memphis.
