Spurs Star Wembanyama Leaves Game versus Knicks with Apparent Left Leg Injury

  • On Wednesday night in San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama left the fourth-quarter rematch with the New York Knicks after an apparent left-leg injury with 10:32 remaining and went to the locker room before returning to the bench.
  • Leaping for an offensive rebound, his left foot slid on landing and replays showed no contact while Wembanyama's knee appeared to hyperextend; he immediately grabbed his left knee and was helped off.
  • His season history includes a 12-game absence for a left calf strain, and he scored 31 points with 13 rebounds in 24 minutes after returning on Dec. 13.
  • Teammates Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox helped Wembanyama to his feet, Spurs coaches, team doctors and Brian Wright followed him to the locker room, while Kelly Olynyk committed an intentional foul.
  • The play echoed Nikola Jokić's recent injury, raising league-wide concern as fans and social media voiced alarm after Wembanyama's exit on Wednesday.
