San Antonio Spurs basketball player Victor Wembanyama is doubtful to appear when his team hosts the Los Angeles Lakers, in the 2025-2026 NBA match, at the Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, United States (US), Thursday (8/1) morning WIB.
The NBA website stated on Wednesday that the young French star's status remains uncertain ahead of the big game , due to his knee not yet fully healed.
Wembanyama has had a rollercoaster ride in the two meetings leading up to the Lakers clash.
The center just returned to play on Wednesday morning WIB, against the Memphis Grizzlies.
He managed to score 30 points in 21 minutes off the bench, but the Spurs still lost narrowly, 105-106.
Meanwhile, the Lakers came to San Antonio on the back of a 111-103 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Luka Doncic and LeBron James each scored 30 points to lead their teams to their third straight win.
Deandre Ayton also contributed with 18 points and 11 rebounds , even though the Lakers played without Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves.
The meeting between these two teams is one of the most anticipated matches for many fans of each club, as well as NBA fans globally. This is due to the long history of rivalry between the two teams in the world's most prestigious basketball league.
