Good to go Wednesday
Wembanyama (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Wembanyama was initially listed as questionable due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but he has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Spurs' back-to-back set Wednesday. He played 21 minutes off the bench during the Spurs' win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday, and Luke Kornet would likely start at center if the former reprises his reserve role against the Lakers.

Questionable for Wednesday
Wembanyama is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers with a left knee bone bruise.
Analysis
Wembanyama recorded 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 106-105 loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday, successfully returning from a two-game absence. The Spurs may tread carefully for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and it sounds like Wembanyama will be a game-time call.

Pours in 30 points in return
Wembanyama logged 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 106-105 loss to the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Analysis
Wembanyama was cleared to return Tuesday from a two-game absence due to a hyperextended left knee. He finished as the game's leading scorer and tallied 12 of his 30 points in the third quarter, but in an effort to limit his playing time, Wembanyama was not on the floor for the final 3:26 of the game. The Spurs play the second leg of their back-to-back set Wednesday against the Lakers, and it's unclear whether the superstar center will be available for that contest.

Coming off bench Tuesday
Wembanyama (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, though he'll come off the bench and operate under an unspecified minutes restriction, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Wembanyama hyperextended his left knee in Wednesday's win over the Knicks but will return to action following a two-game absence. Depending on how he feels after Tuesday's matchup, the star big man is expected to be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. Over six appearances off the bench this season, Wembanyama has averaged 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 blocks in 21.5 minutes per tilt.

Goes through shootaround
Wembanyama (knee) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Analysis
Wembanyama is reportedly feeling good following the shootaround, but he remains questionable to face the Grizzlies in Memphis. McDonald reports that Wembanyama will warm up Tuesday, and that he's shaping up to be a game-time call. If he gets the green light to return from a two-game absence, he may face restrictions.

Questionable against Memphis
Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Analysis
Wembanyama went through 5-on-5 portions of practice Monday, and he'll be re-evaluated following Tuesday's morning shootaround. If the superstar big man is available, his presence would likely eat into the playing time of Luke Kornet. However, Wembanyama hasn't played more than 28 minutes since Nov. 14, starting only three of his past nine appearances as the Spurs continue to be cautious with their superstar big man.

Likely to travel to Memphis
Wembanyama (knee) is likely to travel to Memphis for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
According to head coach Mitch Johnson, Wembanyama is "looking really good," and he expects the big man to join the team on the trip. He also said the star center is day-to-day. The Spurs have been super cautious with Wembanyama previously, and it's worth mentioning that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set.

Out again Saturday
Wembanyama (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland.
Analysis
Wembanyama hyperextended his left knee Wednesday, but additional testing came back clean, which is an encouraging sign for the superstar's long-term health. However, the Spurs will give Wembanyama some additional time to rest. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Memphis in what will be the first leg of a back-to-back set. In the meantime, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk should handle most of the center duties.
