Victor Wembanyama Injury Update: Latest on Spurs' stars status against Utah Jazz (March 27)

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama is available to play today after being listed as questionable on the team's injury report for the coming contest against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

The San Antonio Spurs are coming off one of the best wins of their season, upsetting the Phoenix Suns in the 104-102 win on Monday at home. Jeremy Sochan contributed significantly with 26 points, 18 rebounds and one assists with a block and a steal on 10 of 19 shooting, including sinking the biggest shot of the night with the clutch 3-pointer.

The Spurs face concerns over injuries in their frontcourt, with two players potentially sidelined. Charles Bassey has been absent from action since December due to a knee injury. However, the status of Victor Wembanyama, dealing with an ankle issue, is more recent and poses a more immediate concern.
