Of course, San Antonio may still elect to play it slow with Wembanyama on Sunday as they may continue to limit his minutes like they have since he returned from a calf injury last week.
The Spurs have brought Wembanyama off the bench over the last three games and they may elect to do the same against the Wizards, though he will likely still have a large role.
Wizards Injury Report, Will Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly Play?
On the other side, the Wizards have seven players listed on their injury report, including both Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly.
