After a worrying injury scare in Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers, Victor Wembanyama appears to be on the path to recovery at least based on recent developments.
Wembanyama suffered a hard fall during Game 2, forcing him out of the contest and leaving Spurs fans anxious about his availability for the remainder of the series.
Without their star player, San Antonio struggled to maintain momentum and eventually fell short in a narrow 106-103 loss. However, the bigger concern wasn’t the defeat it was whether their franchise cornerstone.
A viral video circulating on social media showed Wembanyama back at the Spurs’ practice facility, smiling, relaxed, and interacting with teammates.
In the clip, he was even seen wearing a cowboy hat while celebrating Keldon Johnson’s Sixth Man of the Year award, suggesting that his mood and possibly his condition is far from concerning.
Further encouraging reports indicate that Wembanyama has been able to participate in light cardio activities without any worsening of symptoms.
While this doesn’t guarantee an immediate return, it’s a positive sign that his recovery is progressing in the right direction.
There is also growing belief that he could travel with the team for Game 3, which would be a significant step forward.
Even if he isn’t fully cleared to play, his presence alone could provide a morale boost for a Spurs team looking to regain control of the series.
