Victor Wembanyama will sit out back-to-back games for the next couple of weeks as he recovers from an ankle injury, according to Gregg Popovich.

Popovich added that Wembanyama is still on a minutes restriction.

"When we sat him in Dallas, he wasn't happy, but I'm glad he wasn't happy. He's a competitor. All these guys at this level, they didn't get here by being noncompetitive. So, he'd rather be playing. It frustrates him more than anything," said Popovich.

Wembanyama hurt his ankle after landing on a ball boy's foot during warm-ups last week. 

The San Antonio Spurs waived Charles Bediako from his two-way contract on Friday.

Bediako will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a torn left meniscus. 

Victor Wembanyama was ruled out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks after spraining his right ankle when stepping on a ball boy during his pregame warmup.

The ball boy was standing on the baseline when Wembanyama stepped on his foot after making a driving layup over a Spurs assistant coach.

Wembanyama had the ankle retaped, but the Spurs ruled him out.

Wembanyama previously missed a game this week due to soreness in his right ankle.

The McCombs family has purchased a stake in the San Antonio Spurs.

Red McCombs owned at least a share of the Spurs for 11 years and was the team's primary owner for five years. 

The Spurs moved to San Antonio for the 1973 ABA season after McCombs and a group of local investors purchased the then-Dallas Chaparrals of the ABA.

McCombs sold his share of the franchise to purchase the Denver Nuggets in 1978. He sold the Nuggets in 1985, returning as the Spurs' primary owner in May 1988.

McCombs sold the Spurs in 1993 to an investment group led by Peter Holt, whose son now runs the team.

Last Friday's matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs averaged 1.46 million viewers on ESPN.

The matchup featured the first meeting between LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama.

The viewership represented a 6% increase from the equivalent window last season.

The Knicks-Suns matchup afterwards averaged 1.28 million viewers, down 15% from last year. 

The San Antonio Spurs have agreed to sign David Duke Jr. to a Two-Way contract. 

Duke is averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.5 minutes over 11 games this season in the G League with the Delaware Blue Coats. 

The San Antonio Spurs are working through a surplus of young wing players this season. In part, that's led to San Antonio experimenting with Jeremy Sochan playing point guard. Ultimately, it'll probably take a trade to thin things out a bit.

If that happens, it could be Keldon Johnson who is on the move from the Spurs. ESPN's Marc Spears said that he continues to hear that Johnson may not really fit with San Antonio's starting group and that he should be coming off the bench.

Johnson is owed $74 million over the next four seasons. His contract for this season is $20 million, and his deal descends year-to-year and finishes at $17.5 million in 2026-27. That's a movable contract, and the descending nature could be enticing to a contender that has luxury tax issues moving forward.

Charles Bassey will miss the rest of this season with a torn left ACL, the San Antonio Spurs announced.

Bassey suffered the injury while playing the the Spurs' G League affiliate on Sunday.

Bassey, who was converted from a two-way deal last February, is signed through the 2025-26 season. 

Longtime NBA center Gorgui Dieng has retired. Dieng reach his professional goals and is now working for the San Antonio Spurs organization.

Victor Wembanyama will miss his first career NBA game tonight with right hip tightness.

The San Antonio Spurs played on Thursday at home against the Atlanta Hawks and traveled to play at the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.

Wembanyama was listed as questionable with the same injury before the Hawks game, but did play.

Following the game, Wembanyama said the hip wasn't bothering him during the game but added he felt he'd be "day-to-day" with the injury.
