Jeff McDonald: Pop says it is “mandated” that Victor Wembanyama be on a minutes restriction and not play in back-to-backs for “a couple weeks.” At that point, Wemby will get another MRI on his ankle and the medical staff will determine if there should be changes to the protocol.

In an effort to prevent more strain on his thrice-rolled right ankle, Spurs docs have Victor Wembanyama on a no back-to-backs policy.
A quick story from Portland, where Wemby will sit tonight:

Pop says Victor Wembanyama will have a minutes restriction and won’t play back-to-backs “for a couple of weeks” until another set of imaging is done on his ankle.
Said Wemby wants to play – and he likes that he fights them on wanting to play. Called him a competitor. – 8:37 PM

The Spurs made plenty of history in 2023, from the Alamodome to Austin to their new facility to the Hall of Fame.
And yes, the losing was historic too. But so is Victor Wembanyama.
These were the most memorable moments in a pivotal year for San Antonio:

“I just wanted people to know I was the third pick and I’m here.”
Chauncey Billups was once a No. 3 pick eager to prove his worth against No. 1.
He relived that moment — and got a glimpse of the future — in Scoot vs. Wemby Round 1

As expected, Victor Wembanyama will not play in tonight’s b2b closer at Portland. Official reason is “rest.”
It is a team decision and not a Vic decision, I’m told. Though Vic feels fine, med staff wants to reduce strain on the right ankle he has rolled three times this month. – 3:19 PM

Spurs seem intent on passing Wemby the ball early and often
On a somewhat related note, Wemby has 9 points on 4-4 shooting, plus 3 assists, and the Spurs lead 22-4. – 10:24 PM

Wemby at the 5 is such a force. 23.5 points, 14.0 rebs, 4.6 blocks per 75 possessions at that position. Constant threat to alter a shot – 10:20 PM

I’m going to say that was the loudest ovation for Victor Wembanyama on the road this season. I’m not sure why Portland. – 10:07 PM

More on this storyline
Andrew Lopez: Victor Wembanyama (rest) will not play tonight, team says. Spurs are resting him to protect his right ankle. It’s a team decision. The other night Wemby said he’d prefer to play every game but would listen to the medical staff if they felt it was in his best interest to sit. -via Twitter @_Andrew_Lopez / December 29, 2023
Jeff McDonald: One reason for moving Keldon Johnson to the bench is to give Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama more looks together in the two-man game. Vassell: “Us building that kind of chemistry is going to be scary. Once we really get that down pat, I don’t think anybody’s really going to be able to guard it.” -via Twitter @JMcDonald_SAEN / December 28, 2023
2024 NBA All-Star voting is underway and San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is getting big support from his home country of France. French soccer team Paris Saint-Germain is urging everyone to vote Wemby into the All-Star game. “Hey, Spurs fans! Let’s get Wemby to the NBA All-Star game,” the soccer team posted on X. -via Kens5.com / December 28, 2023
