"San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama is listed as out for Saturday night's game against Portland. An MRI on Thursday showed that Wembanyama did not sustain ligament damage to the left knee he hyperextended Wednesday night in a win over the New York Knicks, league sources told ESPN. Wembanyama didn't travel with the Spurs to Indianapolis for Friday's 123-133 win over the Indiana Pacers because team officials wanted him to take advantage of the treatment options available at Victory Capital Performance Center."
"Wembanyama was injured with 10:32 remaining against the Knicks as he battled Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson for a rebound under the basket. Upon landing on the floor, Wembanyama immediately grabbed at his left knee. Teammate Stephon Castle stepped in to help Wembanyama back to his feet, and the center hobbled to the locker room under his own power. As he left the floor, he yelled to fans in attendance at Frost Bank Center, "I'll be all right.""
