US EditionWembanyama returns after early injury in Spurs vs. Bucks game
- During the first quarter, Wembanyama left after knee-to-knee contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo and returned to start the second quarter, hobbling briefly to the locker room.
- Antetokounmpo was driving to the rim when knee-to-knee contact with Wembanyama occurred under the Bucks basket, raising concern due to Wembanyama's Dec. 31 hyperextended knee.
- San Antonio outscored Milwaukee 28 in the second quarter and 40 in the third to lead 106-69 after three quarters, with Wembanyama scoring 11 points in the second.
- With the Spurs struggling in recent games, any leg issue to Victor Wembanyama carries roster significance as he has played just 27 games, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2.7 blocks, while San Antonio entered Thursday on a two-game skid.
- This was the fourth meeting between Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs forward, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center, recalling their Jan. 4, 2024 showdown where Giannis scored 44 points and Wembanyama 27.
