Victor Wembanyama's Offical Status For Spurs-Wizards Game

Victor Wembanyama is not on the injury report for Saturday's game.

On Saturday evening, the San Antonio Spurs will be in Washington, D.C., to face off against Jordan Poole and the Wizards.      

For the game, the Spurs will have their best player in the starting lineup, as Victor Wembanyama is not on the injury report.  

The 20-year-old had missed the team's last game due to rest, so he will return after a one-game absence.  

Victor Wembanyama said he will sit Friday's game against Charlotte and play on Saturday against Washington. He said he was told just prior to talking to media postgame.

He obviously wants to play both, but still on his restriction.
