Victor Wembanyama has been out because of a left calf strain and has been sidelined for nearly a month. He is now listed as probable and is expected to return for the Spurs’ NBA Cup semifinal game, so his absence is injury‑related rather than rest.
Current injury status
Victor Wembanyama has not played since mid‑November after suffering a strain in his left calf, which the Spurs have treated cautiously. Reports indicate his recovery timeline was about two to four weeks, and he is now at the back end of that window.
Expected return
Recent updates state that he is feeling good, has been going through pregame and practice work, and has been upgraded to “probable” for the upcoming Spurs game in the NBA Cup. That means he has been sitting out to fully heal the calf, but barring a setback he should be back on the court very soon.
