Wembanyama Remains on Minutes Restriction, Continues Bench Role

Victor Wembanyama will remain on a minutes restriction and come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Wizards. This marks his third consecutive game as a reserve, following a left calf strain. He logged 25 minutes off the bench in the NBA Cup title game Tuesday. Head coach Mitch Johnson indicated they would be "mindful" of his minutes, especially with a back-to-back. Luke Kornet will continue to start in his place as the Spurs monitor his return.
