Victor Wembanyama Had an MRI that Confirmed a Left Calf Strain, Spurs Say

On Sunday, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the matchup against the Sacramento Kings after being listed questionable with left calf tightness.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said the soreness developed progressively and was not linked to a specific play, and the team is treating calf tightness as a precaution amid recent leaguewide concern.
Veteran Luke Kornet will start at center against Sacramento, replacing Victor Wembanyama, who played 38 minutes Friday and recorded 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
Wembanyama's absence would mark his first missed game of the season and reshapes Sunday's matchup, potentially giving the Sacramento Kings a better chance to end their five-game losing streak.
Given last season's deep vein thrombosis, Victor Wembanyama's calf issue carries added significance as he posts career averages and league-leading blocks, placing him in MVP conversation.
