Will Victor Wembanyama hit the court against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight? The San Antonio Spurs rookie, drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been a standout player this season. Despite the team’s struggling 5-28 record, Wembanyama has consistently showcased his talent. The Spurs are preparing to face the challenging Milwaukee Bucks, who outperformed San Antonio in their previous matchup.
After a recent injury scare in December, Wembanyama is no longer on the injury report, according to ESPN’s updated list. He is expected to join the clash on Thursday.
While Wembanyama is set to play, the Spurs are uncertain about Malaki Branham’s availability due to an ankle concern. Zach Collins will be sidelined for two to four weeks, and Charles Bassey is out for the season following an ACL tear.
Wembanyama missed the Spurs’ prior encounter with the Bucks, where Milwaukee secured a 132-119 victory. This upcoming game will mark his first face-off against Giannis Antetokounmpo, often dubbed the ‘Greek Freak.’
Despite the Spurs’ challenging season, Victor Wembanyama has delivered impressive statistics. Across 29 games, he’s averaged 18.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. His recent five-game performance reflects an average of 18.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.
