Wembanyama returns after early injury in Spurs vs. Bucks game
SAN ANTONIO (AP) --- Victor Wembanyama returned to the court after limping off
with a right leg injury in the opening minutes of the San Antonio Spurs' game
against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.
Wembanyama returned to the bench at the close of the first quarter and was on
the court to start the second quarter.
Wembanyama dropped to the court after making knee-to-knee contact with the left
leg of Milwaukee center Giannis Antetokounmpo under the Bucks basket with 9:18
remaining in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo was driving to the rim when the
two made contact.
Wembanyama remained on the court for a few seconds before rising and hobbling
unassisted in a half sprint toward the locker room.
Wembanyama suffered a hyperextended knee on Dec. 31 in the fourth quarter
against the New York Knicks in a similar play. He returned to the bench but
missed the next two games.
San Antonio enters Thursday's game on a two-game skid, including a 119-98 loss
at Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
