Victor Wembanyama is doubtful for the San Antonio Spurs' matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. The star center is listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report due to an illness. Wembanyama, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, also missed the Spurs’ previous game against the Miami Heat on Saturday.
Although the French center has shown signs of improvement, his availability against the Grizzlies will depend on how he feels leading up to tip-off. The 7-foot-3 phenom last played on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks, where he helped lead San Antonio to a dominant 144-118 victory.
Wembanyama logged 30 minutes in that game and delivered a stellar performance, recording a double-double. He finished with 30 points on 9 of 20 shooting from the field, including 5 of 11 from 3-point range. Additionally, he tallied 14 rebounds, six blocks and one assist.
