San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama to miss at least 2-3 weeks with strained calf,

Victor Wembanyama will miss the next two to three weeks, at minimum, after an
MRI confirmed that the San Antonio Star center has a strained left calf, a
person familiar with the diagnosis said Monday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the
team did not reveal any specifics regarding the timeline. The working plan, the
person said, is for Wembanyama to be evaluated after that window and then a
return-to-play timetable will likely be finalized.
Wembanyama underwent the MRI on Sunday, when he sat out of San Antonio's
victory against the Sacramento Kings.
He was injured Friday against the Golden State Warriors. He had 26 points, 12
rebounds, four assists and three blocks in the 109-108 loss.
Wembanyama is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and leads the
league with 3.58 blocks per game.
San Antonio is off to its best start in a decade at 8-4, including a
franchise-record 5-0 start.
Wembanyama was limited to 46 games last season after being diagnosed with deep
vein thrombosis. He underwent surgery to help clear the blood clot and no
long-term issues were expected.
