| Wembanyama (ankle) was named the 2023-24 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Scoop:Wembanyama was the clear favorite for this year's Rookie of the Year honors, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.6 blocks in 29.7 minutes per appearance over 71 games during his first NBA campaign. It's also worth noting that the 7-foot-4 center is one of three finalists for the 2023-24 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, which speaks to the monumental impact he had on both ends of the court this season for the Spurs.

| Out for regular-season finale Wembanyama won't play in Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to right ankle injury management. The Scoop: Wembanyama will be held out of San Antonio's regular-season finale due to a left ankle injury that he has been battling all season. The rookie phenom is practically a guarantee to win Rookie of the Year after a historic campaign. Wembanyama will end 2023-24 averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, a league-best 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 29.7 minutes across 71 appearances. Apr 13 9:43 ET |
| Leads team to comeback win Wembanyama closed Friday's 121-120 victory over the Nuggets with 34 points (12-27 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes. The Scoop: Wembanyama's stellar performance against the defending champions helped San Antonio erase a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit for just the team's 21st win of the season. The rookie phenom tied his season high with five threes made Friday. Wembanyama has proven to be a dominant force already in his career, recording 43 double-doubles in 71 appearances in 2023-24.

| Not on injury report Wembanyama (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports. The Scoop: Wembanyama sat out Wednesday against the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, and coach Gregg Popovich was non-committal regarding the rookie's status after the game. However, Wembanyama should be back in action following a one-game absence. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaged 26.0 points, 12.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 34.4 minutes per game.

| Uncertain to play Friday Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was non-committal after Wednesday's 127-89 loss to the Thunder regarding whether Wembanyama (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports. "We don't have a plan yet. Just see how his ankle is and we'll go from there," Popovich said of the rookie. The Scoop: After appearing in seven straight games, Wembanyama sat out Wednesday with what the Spurs termed as "right ankle injury management." Based on that label, Wembanyama's absence in Oklahoma City was believed to be mainly for rest purposes as the Spurs played the second leg of a back-to-back set, but Popovich's comments suggest that the star center is dealing with a legitimate injury that could keep him out again Friday. If the Spurs opt to hold out Wembanyama for a second straight game, Zach Collins would be in store for another start at center and would make for an attractive streaming option. Apr 11 12:55 ET |
