The San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is taking a break from consecutive games for the next few weeks as he recuperates from an ankle injury, as stated by Gregg Popovich. Popovich also mentioned that Wembanyama is still under a minute restriction.

“When we sat him in Dallas, he wasn’t happy, but I’m glad he wasn’t happy. He’s a competitor. All these guys at this level, they didn’t get here by being noncompetitive. So, he’d rather be playing. It frustrates him more than anything,” said Popovich.

Wembanyama sustained the ankle injury when he landed on a ball boy’s foot during warm-ups last week.
