Before exiting, he posted <strong data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2248\">17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks<\/strong> in just over 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2592\">After the game, coach <strong data-start=\"2335\" data-end=\"2352\">Mitch Johnson<\/strong> said he had heard \u201cnothing\u201d yet about the seriousness of the issue. Even without Wembanyama in the second half, the Spurs closed out a <strong data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2499\">115-102<\/strong> victory, with <strong data-start=\"2514\" data-end=\"2532\">Stephon Castle<\/strong> helping lead the way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2882\">Wembanyama\u2019s appearance still counts for postseason award eligibility because he cleared the minimum threshold needed under the NBA exception rule. The focus now shifts to whether the rib injury will affect San Antonio\u2019s final regular-season stretch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Victor Wembanyama left the game with a shoulder injury and will not return \ud83d\ude4f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7k4cxXADUB\">pic.twitter.com\/7k4cxXADUB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fullcourtpass\/status\/2041335674326934011?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victor Wembanyama left the game against the Philadelphia 76ers at halftime because of a left rib contusion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":491631,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[187],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-491632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-07-alle-07.43.24.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491632"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=491632"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=491632"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=491632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
