Victor Wembanyama delivered 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter in his return from a calf injury and the San Antonio Spurs earned a spot in the NBA Cup final with a 111-109 upset of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Basketball’s next phenom has the San Antonio Spurs contending for a championship. It’s all because of the shot he’s stopped shooting.
Wembanyama last played during an NBA Cup Group C game against the Golden State Warriors on November 14. An MRI later confirmed a left calf strain, announced by the Spurs on November 17. San Antonio stayed careful, following league-wide trends around calf injuries.
