San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a left calf strain, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.
Wembanyama didn’t play in San Antonio’s win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday because of calf tightness – his first absence this season. The team said that an MRI confirmed the injury Monday. He missed the entire second half of the 2024-25 campaign after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his right shoulder during the All-Star break.
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said ahead of Sunday’s game that the team hoped to avoid unnecessary risk with the 7-foot-4 center’s lower left leg, alluding to the possible connection between calf strains and the Achilles tears that have sidelined high-profile names over the last year.
