The San Antonio Spurs will host the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night at the Frost Bank Arena, but they might not have their French freshman due to a recent injury.
The Spurs announced that Victor “Wemby” Wembanyama is “questionable” for the game due to hip tightness.
At Thursday morning’s shootaround, Wemby was seen going through drills with the Spurs medical staff that simulated keeping his hips loose. He was moving much more than usual during a shootaround session, which KSAT sports reporter Mary Rominger noticed was unusual for his game day routine.

Spurs teammate Cedi Osman was asked about Wembanyama’s ability and the health of his hips but referred any questions to the Spurs’ coaching staff and medical professionals.
“Obviously, he was able to go through shootaround. But we don’t know what’s going on exactly, so I think that’s a good question for our, you know, coaches, but, yeah, I mean, he looked good,” Osman said.
