The San Antonio Spurs have decided to rest rookie Victor Wembanyama for their upcoming game against the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of ankle injury management. Wembanyama, who has played in 70 games this season, will be held out of the game as a precautionary measure.
Despite expressing his desire to play, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and the team have opted to prioritize Wembanyama's long-term health. Popovich emphasized the importance of taking a cautious approach, especially considering the player's history of ankle injuries earlier in the season.
