After nearly a month sidelined by a left calf strain, Victor Wembanyama is expected to return for the San Antonio Spurs in Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal in Las Vegas against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wembanyama was listed as probable on Friday’s Spurs injury report, but he pronounced himself “ready to go” while talking to reporters on Friday night.

Wembanyama last played during an NBA Cup Group C game against the Golden State Warriors on November 14. An MRI later confirmed a left calf strain, announced by the Spurs on November 17. San Antonio stayed careful, following league-wide trends around calf injuries.

Victor Wembanyama on who is the best player in the NBA: “I think Jokic is the best offensive player. I don’t think he’s the best player… I think it’s between Giannis and Shai.” “When I come back on the court, I think it will be me.” pic.twitter.com/ESHKmQyJ9x
