Strong showing in loss
Wembanyama registered 26 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Wembanyama was one of the lone bright spots for San Antonio, pacing his team in scoring and rebounding. The big man has put together a pair of huge performances since returning to the starting lineup and is finally starting to see his workload increase after sitting around the 20-minute mark in his first five matchups since being cleared to return from a calf strain.

Drops 32 points
Wembanyama generated 32 points (12-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five blocks across 28 minutes of Saturday's 127-114 loss to Utah.
Analysis
Wembanyama's 28 minutes played were his most since returning from a 12-game absence Dec. 13. He hit the five-block milestone for the fifth time this season and scored at least 30 points for the fifth time. Now back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in six straight games, Wembanyama will likely still have his minutes monitored moving forward, but it looks like the Spurs are slowly easing him into a larger role.

Starting vs. Utah
Wembanyama will start against the Jazz on Saturday, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
Analysis
After coming off the bench in six straight regular-season outings following a 12-game absence due to a calf strain, Wembanyama will return to the starting five. With the star big man back in the starting lineup, Luke Kornet is expected to slide to the second unit. It's unclear if Wembanyama will remain on a minutes restriction, though he was able to play 26 minutes in Thursday's win over the Thunder, during which he posted 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal off the bench.

Double-double from second unit
Wembanyama finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-102 victory over Oklahoma City.
Analysis
For the sixth straight game since returning from a calf strain, Wembanyama was deployed with the second unit, but his 26 minutes represented his biggest workload during that stretch. The third-year center has also logged a double-double in three of the last four contests, and since his return he's averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 threes in 21.5 minutes.

Passive performance Tuesday
Wembanyama totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 130-110 win over the Thunder.
Analysis
Wembanyama wasn't really a factor despite the win, producing arguably his worst performance of the season. He continues to come off the bench, having now played fewer than 24 minutes in all five games since returning from a calf injury. Given the recent frustrations, now could be a good time to try and execute a buy-low if you are of the opinion that his playing time will trend up in the next few games.
