Spurs star Wembanyama leaves game versus Knicks with apparent left leg injury
SAN ANTONIO (AP) --- San Antonio center Victor Wembanyama left Wednesday
night's rematch with the New York Knicks in the fourth quarter after suffering
an apparent left leg injury.
There was no immediate word on the extent of Wembanyama's injury.
Wembanyama leaped to gather an offensive rebound over Knicks enter Karl-Anthony
Towns with 10:32 left in the game and lost possession when he landed. Replays
showed there was no contact, but Wembanyama's left foot slid forward and his
knee appeared to hyperextend.
Wembanyama remained on the court while New York went on offense. Spurs forward
Kelly Olynyk intentionally committed a foul so the Spurs could check on
Wembanyama. Spurs guards Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox helped Wembanyama get
up before he hobbled straight to the locker room unassisted.
The 7-foot-4 center emphatically threw his hands down at fans as ran through
the tunnel.
San Antonio trainers, doctors and general manager Brian Wright followed
Wembanyama to the locker room.
This is the first meeting between the Spurs and the Knicks since New York beat
San Antonio 124-113 on Dec. 16 in the NBA Cup final.
