Victor Wembanyama, who had an MRI on Monday, will be sidelined for a few weeks as the Spurs are being cautious about his left calf strain, sources told ESPN.

Summary: As of May 2026, there have been no widely reported, current-season long-term injuries forcing him to miss the rest of the season. Most recent updates in late 2025 and early 2026 focused on shorter-term issues (calf strains and a hyperextension) with return timelines typically measured in weeks rather than months, and no confirmed season-ending diagnosis.[4][5][7][8][9][10]

Recent injury context:
- Late 2025: Reports indicated a left calf strain, with an initial timeline of a few weeks out, and a cautious return plan rather than a protracted absence.[5][4]
- Early 2026: Occasional notes of a hyperextended left knee in late 2025 actions, but without lasting ligament damage per MRI in the later update, suggesting a favorable short-term prognosis when he returned around that period.[7][10]
-
What this means for fans in Buffalo, NY:
- If you’re tracking Spurs games or national coverage, expect periodic updates on knee/calf status but no confirmed ongoing season-long injury reported for 2026 play as of now.[8][4]
- For real-time accuracy, check the Spurs’ official injury updates or major outlets (ESPN, Reuters, CBSSports) around game days.
Illustration: A simple timeline of the notable injuries from 2024–2026 shows an initial shoulder issue with a blood clot (2024–25) followed by calf and knee issues in 2025–26, with no confirmed season-ending diagnosis in 2026 to date. This helps explain why Wembanyama’s availability has varied but hasn’t been declared over for the season in the latest rounds of reporting.[1][2][10][5][7]
