Spurs' Victor Wembanyama bounces back again from twisted ankle
The 7-foot-4 center rolled his ankle but stayed in the game Friday night in Sacramento after stepping on an opponent's foot for the second game in a row.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama suffered ankle injuries in two consecutive games but quickly bounced back. During a Friday night win against the Sacramento Kings, Wembanyama rolled his left ankle after a reckless closeout by Domantas Sabonis, but continued to play. After flexing his ankle for about a minute, he returned to finish with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks.
Spurs guard Dylan Harper referred to Wembanyama as "Superman" for his ability to shake off ankle mishaps. Coach Mitch Johnson attributed Wembanyama's resilience to his dedication to flexibility, preparation, and recovery.
