BREAKING: San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will make a highly anticipated return to the starting lineup tonight against the Utah Jazz, while point guard De’Aaron Fox has been ruled out due to injury. The game tips off at 8:00 PM ET at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Wembanyama, who stands at an impressive 7-foot-4, has been working to regain his strength after a strained left calf sidelined him for 12 games. He has come off the bench for the past seven games but is now ready to take on a starting role as the Spurs aim to extend their eight-game winning streak.
Fox, who was downgraded to questionable earlier today, is dealing with tightness in his left adductor and will not play. This follows a challenging start to the season for the 21.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game player, who missed the first eight games after straining his right hamstring during the offseason.
With Fox out, Julian Champagnie will step in for his 18th start of the season, aiming to fill the gap left by the key player. The Spurs look to maintain their momentum against the Jazz, having recently secured three consecutive victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a two-week span.
As fans eagerly await the game, the question remains: can the Spurs keep the winning streak alive without their star point guard? Stay tuned for live updates and reactions as this developing story unfolds.
