NBA: Wembanyama injured while stepping on a ball boy (video)

It is, for the moment, the stupidest injury of Victor Wembanyama’s young career. Star of the San Antonio Spurs, the Frenchman withdrew at the last moment to face the Dallas Mavericks on their floor on Saturday evening. He had already missed a match on Tuesday, December 19 against Milwaukee (132-119 defeat) due to a right ankle problem. And this Saturday, “Wemby” awakened the pain.

In his momentum after a double-step during warm-ups, Wembanyama stepped on the foot of a ball boy, an employee of the Mavericks. The 1st pick from the last draft returned to the locker room to have his ankle strapped, but he still remained on the bench for the entire match. “He maybe could have played, he probably could have played. If it had been a playoff game, I probably would have played him,” said his coach, Gregg Popovich.

The Spurs largely lost in this Texan derby (144-119) and now have a record of 4 victories for 24 defeats. They have the last record in the Western Conference and only the Detroit Pistons (2 wins, 27 losses) are doing worse than them. Wembanyama, 19, played 25 matches out of 28 possible for his discovery of the NBA. He averages 18.5 points and 10.7 rebounds while playing 30 minutes/game on average.
