The San Antonio Spurs will face the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. On a positive note, Victor Wembanyama has reached a big milestone in his injury recovery and was a full participant in Sunday's team practice.
Latest update on Victor Wembanyama
Wembanyama last appeared in a 109-108 defeat against the Golden State Warriors on November 15. Following the game, he was on the sidelines with a calf injury and has missed 10 games since. He seemed to be one of the best players in the league before facing injury, averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.6 blocks per game.
While he will miss Monday's clash against the Pelicans, Wembanyama is set to be back on December 10 against the LA Lakers. His return should give the Spurs quite a boost.
