The Tracks officially stated Victor Wembanyama Questionable for Tuesday night’s game against the Thunder due to a bruised knee, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News tweets. San Antonio had indicated after practice that the star center would be classified as questionable, according to Orsborn.

Wembanyama sat out Saturday’s loss in Dallas after suffering an injury in a collision with the Lakers. Anthony Davis on Friday evening. The reigning Rookie of the Year is averaging 22.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.7 blocks in his second season.

We have more from the Southwest Division:

  • Outsiders observatory Luka Doncic is considered questionable to play Tuesday against the Pelicans due to a right knee contusion, Grant Afseth of the Dallas Hoops Journal tweets. Doncic logged a season-low 28 minutes against the Spurs on Saturday.
  • Pelicans guard C.J. McCollum He practiced Monday but did not undergo any contact drills, tweeted Christian Clark of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. McCollum has not played since October 29 due to a thigh injury. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s match.
  • Could be Yves Missi be the answer to the Pelicans in the middle? The Athletic’s William Guillory explores this question. The 21st overall pick in this year’s draft has posted double figures in rebounds in three of the last four games and has shown versatility on defense. Missi has also proven to be a fast learner. “It’s great for him to get these minutes and these experiences early in the season. It will be hugely beneficial for him as we progress throughout the year.” coach Willie Green said. “We expect this will pay off for him in the long run.”
