Wembanyama was locked in from the jump in this one, and he hit some clutch shots down the stretch in the win, scoring 10 of his 39 points during the final three minutes of play.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Battles through knee issue
Rotowire
Wembanyama produced 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 win over the Bucks.
Wembanyama briefly exited Thursday's matchup in the first quarter after banging knees with an opposing player, but he managed to return for the final three periods. The knee issue didn't appear to impact him much, as he posted his best showing from beyond the arc since Nov. 10 against Chicago, when he went 6-for-9 from deep. Wembanyama is averaging 22.7 points and converting 48.9 percent of his shots from the field in three games since returning to the starting lineup.

Wembanyama (knee) started the second quarter of Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Wembanyama went to the locker room during the first quarter to get his knee checked out after colliding with Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, Wembanyama emerged from the tunnel in the waning seconds of the first quarter and checked in to start the second period, so he appears to be just fine.

Rotowire
Wembanyama contributed 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one turnover across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 loss to the Thunder.
Wembanyama got a bit banged up during Tuesday's loss, first with a knee-to-knee collision with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and later by rolling his ankle coming down awkwardly on Jaylin Williams' foot after a jumper, but neither issue required a trip to the locker room. He may pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks, though.

Wembanyama returned to the starting lineup Sunday for the first time since Dec. 31. He continues to have his minutes restricted while playing through a knee injury, but that didn't seem to bother him all that much as he finished as the game's leading scorer while tying a season high in made free throws. Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 26.4 points on 52.1 percent shooting, along with 9.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 threes, 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steals over 25.6 minutes per game.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Hits for 21 off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Wembanyama contributed 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 100-95 victory over the Celtics.
Making his third straight appearance with the second unit, Wembanyama tied De'Aaron Fox for the team scoring lead while also recording three of the Spurs' four blocks on the night. Wembanyama has struggled to stay healthy this season and hasn't played 30-plus minutes in a game since Nov. 14, but he's still been productive when on the court. Over his last 12 games (three starts), the third-year center is averaging 22.0 points, 9.7 boards, 2.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 threes in just 23.4 minutes a contest.
Wembanyama (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Wembanyama was initially listed as questionable due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but he has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Spurs' back-to-back set Wednesday. He played 21 minutes off the bench during the Spurs' win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday, and Luke Kornet would likely start at center if the former reprises his reserve role against the Lakers.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable against Memphis
Rotowire
Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama went through 5-on-5 portions of practice Monday, and he'll be re-evaluated following Tuesday's morning shootaround. If the superstar big man is available, his presence would likely eat into the playing time of Luke Kornet. However, Wembanyama hasn't played more than 28 minutes since Nov. 14, starting only three of his past nine appearances as the Spurs continue to be cautious with their superstar big man.
