San Antonio Spurs Frenchman Victor Wembanyama could make his comeback this Saturday in the NBA Cup semifinals against the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing a month of competition due to injury.
Wembanyama was listed as “probable” on the Spurs’ Friday injury report, which may indicate that he will be available for today’s game, which is being played in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 21-year-old Frenchman has missed his team’s last 12 games with a calf injury.
Which it suffered after a loss to the Golden State Warriors on November 14.
The Texan team has not missed Victor Wembanyama and has 9 wins in that period.
Including one in the NBA Cup quarterfinals last Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers, which sealed their passage to the semifinals of the tournament.
There they will face the most in-form team in the competition, the Thunder, who have lost only one game out of a possible 25.
Before the injury, Wembanyama was improving on his numbers from the previous two seasons.
He averaged 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per night in 12 games played.

A young star
Victor Wembanyama is one of the most impressive talents that European basketball has produced in recent decades.
Born in France in 2004, he began his development in the youth ranks of Nanterre 92 and later made the leap to ASVEL, one of the most important clubs in Europe.
His definitive explosion came with the Metropolitans 92, where he consolidated his position as the world’s most promising player.
This is thanks to his combination of height, mobility and defensive ability.
In 2023, he was selected as the first overall pick in the NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs.
Since his arrival in the league, Wembanyama has made an immediate impact, standing out for his defensive dominance, offensive versatility and competitive maturity.
His projection places him as one of the figures called to mark an era in the NBA.
