The San Antonio Spurs updated their injury report on Monday night, adding star rookie Victor Wembanyama due to left shoulder soreness. He is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
Wembanyama sustained the shoulder injury late in Sunday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. The injury occurred when Myles Turner fouled him with 3:29 remaining in the game. Turner landed on Wembanyama's shoulder after the 7-foot-3 center pump-faked him.
Despite the injury, Wembanyama continued to play, showing resilience and determination. He grimaced in pain and leaned against the scorer's table for several seconds before returning to the game. Wembanyama managed to hit one of two free throws, extending the Spurs' lead to 109-102.
In an impressive performance, Wembanyama recorded 31 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and six blocks in just 31 minutes of play. His contributions were instrumental in the Spurs' 117-105 victory over the Pacers.
Wembanyama's injury comes at a crucial point in the season, as the Spurs aim to secure victories and improve their standing. His availability for future games will be closely monitored by the medical staff, who are committed to ensuring his long-term health and well-being.
