Wembanyama had not started a game since New Year’s Eve, when he suffered a left knee bone bruise in the fourth quarter of a Spurs victory over the New York Knicks. He had come off the bench in three games since his return. Now that he is back in the starting lineup, Wembanyama hopes to stay there for good.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs received positive news on Jan. 1. The Spurs star suffered a leg injury during the 134-132 victory over the New York Knicks on Dec. 31. Wembanyama’s MRI came back clean with no sign of ligament damage, according to ESPN.

The Celtics, like most teams in the NBA, didn't have any answer for Wembanyama. The post Victor Wembanyama dominates as Celtics fall narrowly to Spurs: 7 takeaways appeared first on Boston.com.

After the Spurs’ 134-132 win, it was confirmed that Wembanyama hyperextended his knee. He underwent tests that did not find any other concerns, and is set for further examination Thursday. Despite the early exit, the third-year center set his intentions clear following the game.

Randle played perhaps the best defense of his Minnesota career, and Anthony Edwards continued his incredible clutch play.

The Frenchman scored 16 of his 21 in the second half, including a game-sealing jumper with 19.1 seconds left, to lead the Spurs past Boston 100-95 on Saturday.

Despite knocking off the Lakers after having lost four of their previous six games, Victor Wembanyama says it's not a reset for the Spurs.
