The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Spurs, the host, are 60-19 ahead of the clash against the visitors, who are 40-39 this season. Spurs, who have already qualified for the postseason, will look to have an impactful record as they meet the Trail Blazers, and for that, they will need a healthy squad.
Victor Wembanyama’s latest injury update ahead of Spurs vs Portland NBA clash
However, Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama is listed as doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup due to a rib contusion, according to league insider Shams Charania. While the team is taking a cautious approach with the 21-year-old NBA sensation, San Antonio expects him to play in at least one of the team’s final three regular-season games.
The Spurs have already secured a playoff berth in the 2025-26 season, allowing them to manage Wembanyama’s workload carefully. The rib injury comes at a critical time as the league monitors the 65-game threshold required for major award eligibility, including Defensive Player of the Year, where Wembanyama has been a frontrunner throughout the year.
