Victor Wembanyama To Get Minutes Restriction Lifted
11 months agoSan Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been under a minutes restriction ever since he sprained his ankle a couple of times back on December 21. Even with the restriction, he tweaked his ankle again in the first game after that. Originally, it was placed at 24 minutes a night, but he has seen just shy of 30 minutes in the past couple of games. This weekend, it seems that the Spurs are prepared to play him as many minutes as they need. Wembanyama was averaging north of 30 minutes per contest before the restriction, so they'll likely get back to the same mark. Gregg Popovich even talked about possibly playing him in both halves of a back-to-back. More than halfway through his rookie season, the French superstar is averaging 20.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 3.2 blocks, 1.1 steals, and 3.2 turnovers per game.
