[Charania] San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama is likely to return for Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinals against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas, sources tell ESPN. Final clearance will come after today’s practice for Wembanyama, who’s been sidelined since Nov. 14 due to a calf strain.

1. oh shit maybe the thunder will only win by 20 now instead of 35

2. Him and Chet just wanna fight

3. Silver is dosing him up with the shit they put in Willis Reed’s leg to get him back for the Cup

4. This just become the most must watch thing on Saturday

5. Please. It could be cinema

6. Chet vs wemby is always a banger

7. Let’s gooooo

8. Demon home 

9. Hell yeah I love the baby giraffe duels between Wemby and Chet.

10. Save us Wemby you are the chosen one

11. Podziemski is a piece of turd

12. he’s gonna be rusty so i’m not expecting much but it’d be cool to see okc lose for once

13. we’re up it’s about to be cinema

14. Let’s fucking go.

15. knew this was coming bc i was able to play with him in 2k last night 👍

16. Silver delivered Wemby’s marching orders from Amazon personally.

17. If he’s actually 100 percent, this is perfect timing, because Wemby vs Chet in a knockout game is exactly what the league’s been praying for 😂.

    Please no “calf strain” turning into “whoops Achilles” though, Pop better have a quick hook if anything looks off.

18. Spurs and OKC play 3 times in the next 12 days. I am very confident that OKC loses at least one of these games if Wemby plays in all 3.

19. Victor “F*** Chet* Wembanyama

20. Absolute cinema.

21. Wemby please drop 60 and give this Thunder team their second loss.

22. Can’t wait for Wemby to have a mid game while returning from a month off against an all time great defensive team and then have lots of posts about how the spurs are better without him

23. Biggest NBA Cup game of all time

24. The rivalry is on!

25. Ahhhh hell yeah

26. “Help us, Obi-Wembayama, you’re our only hope.”

27. I want you to put the word out that we’re back up.

28. Chet vs Wemby lets go!!!!

29. He wants to play against Chet so bad

30. I really hope this is a good game. Maybe sga could even play in the 4th

31. Wemby saw Chet next on the schedule and said I’ve been out long enough 😭

32. Fucking finally a good thunder game we can finally eat

33. The thing I love about this is both him and Chet seem to hate each other, but for reasons that we all want. No beef. No off court animosity. Just pure back and fourth on court hatred to prove to the other who’s better

34. FUELED BY HATE

35. The final Boss that needs to be summoned to finally beat the unbeatable team.
    I‘m all here for it

36. Silver made the call
