Victor Wembanyama\u00a0will miss San Antonio’s NBA game on Friday at Indiana after suffering a\u00a0hyper-extended left knee in a Spurs victory over New York, according to multiple reports on Thursday.<\/p>\n
ESPN and the San Antonio Express-News reported that the 21-year-old French star did not make the trip to Indianapolis and will receive more care in Texas despite an MRI on Thursday that showed no ligament damage.<\/p>\n
Wembanyama, who turns 22 on Sunday, will be listed as questionable for Saturday’s home game against Portland, ESPN reported. The next Spurs game after that is Tuesday at Memphis.<\/p>\n
Wembanyama was injured in San Antonio’s 134-132 home victory over New York on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Spurs are 24-9 and rank second in the Western Conference, 4.5 games back of NBA-best Oklahoma City, and third overall in the league behind the Thunder and Detroit.<\/p>\n
Wembanyama is averaging 24.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.9 blocked shots a game in 21 appearances this season.<\/p>\n
