Spurs' Wembanyama doesn't expect to miss time after hyperextending knee in win over Knicks

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama says he feels fine and does not expect to miss any time after hyperextending his left knee Wednesday against the New York Knicks.

Now, whether the San Antonio Spurs agree with the center’s prognosis remains to be seen. But, all sides are grateful the episode was not anything worse.
