San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama did not return for the second half of the game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a left rib contusion sustained in the second quarter. Despite the injury, he played 16 minutes, which counts as one of the two allowed “near-miss” games for NBA award eligibility. The Spurs won their 60th game of the season, making them just the fourth team in history to achieve 60 wins after a season with fewer than 35. Coach Mitch Johnson has not yet received an update on Wembanyama’s condition as the playoffs approach.
