Out

  • Victor Wembanyama | Calf | San Antonio Spurs
    • The Spurs superstar, Victor Wembanyama, is set to miss a few weeks with a calf injury. San Antonio won its first game without Wemby, as De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes each recorded at least 20 points. Fox has averaged 22 points per game since returning from injury and will need to take on an even larger role in the Spurs’ offense without Wemby.

  • Paolo Banchero | Groin | Orlando Magic
    • Banchero is set to miss his third consecutive game as he is still recovering from a groin injury. Franz Wagner has totaled 25-plus points in three straight games and has shown that with extra opportunities, he can be more productive. Tristan da Silva has played 32 and 40 minutes in the previous two contests and has been effective.
