Tests on Victor Wembanyama<\/strong> showed that he avoided a significant injury after getting hurt against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs<\/strong> star is considered day-to-day and is currently doubtful for the game against Portland because of a rib contusion.<\/p>\n

There is still optimism that he will return before the end of the regular season. To maintain eligibility for postseason awards, Wembanyama needs to play at least 20 minutes in one of San Antonio\u2019s remaining games.<\/p>\n
