Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Absent in loss Monday

Wembanyama (ankle) missed France's 70-65 exhibition loss to Germany on Monday due to an illness, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Wembanyama was sidelined for France's loss as they prepared for the Paris Olympics. In two exhibitions thus far, the 2024 Rookie of the Year averaged 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks across 19.5 minutes. His stellar play proves he's moved past the ankle injury that sidelined him for the Spurs' final regular-season game. Wembanyama could return as soon as Friday against Serbia; however, there is no rush as France does not begin play in the Olympic Games until July 27 versus Brazil.
