Chet will obviously have his problems too. But him and Wembum aren’t even in the same arena of injury risk.

Luka has had his share of ankle rolls too.

Yeah they're the "Winter" parallel. Seem to go for around 1.5 times the price of the base versions.

Nice game Wemby scores 30 in 24 minutes in Spurs win…against Portland

Did that playing 24 minutes… on quad double watch. Hopefully the experimenting with lineups and roles is coming to an end

Watching teams react to him defensively is interesting but watching teams try him defensively makes you appreciate how well he moves on the court

Lol. They were playing the 8 win Blazers who were without 3 starters. And the guys playing center opposite him were a tandem of Ibou Badji who this was his 2nd NBA game ever and Moses Brown who has played all of 3 games this season. He might as well have gone up against the D League last night

I’ll spare you the “injuries are part of the game” cause the Eagles certainly didn’t apologize during their SB run last year.

But honestly, What’s the alternative? For any competitor? Concede and not come to play just because? He’s a teenager on a 4 win team (worse than the Blazers). To see anything other than red would have everyone questioning that

Wut.

He was playing against the D league. The only point was to read zero into whatever happens for that game

Good confidence builder, it all counts towards NBA stats for the teen… until JAN 4th.

This guy seems like he's going to have a lot of ankle and foot issues...which sucks because he's fun to watch

When you’re a walking / talking skyscraper, the foundation ( feet & ankles ) is a concern for sure — Chet, with a similar build and almost similar height lasted what, 48 seconds in his rookie year before injuring his?

Maybe a 6’ 10” star is more durable than a 7’ 4” star? …. I don’t know, I only post here

[KhalDrogo]

The Spurs openly mocking the NBA and their rest policy. Holding Wembum out of back to backs knowing there’s no punishment because he doesn’t meet the criteria, even though people are only going to Spurs games and tuning in to see him play.

Remembering Bill Walton who broke his foot near the end of his 2nd season. Amazing player but had multiple injuries.

Last game as a teenager - doubt Pop increases his minutes past the 24 he's been playing lately but tonight & Thursday (Wemby's 20th birthday) would be great to see 30+ minutes again.

Statistically this is true.

[spurs50fan]

1st game in his twenties looked darn good on national tv. Even on minute restrictions

[Cards and 401K]

Yes, and if he hits another 3 pointer or two and he scores 30+. Over a point a minute tonight.

Kids a freak...this is fun.

Imagine how good he would look if he wasn't surrounded by a bunch of D Leaguers. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already thinking he won't stay with the Spurs. As bad it as gets this year, no chance at the playoffs next year. His minutes getting held back. Gotta put a bad taste in his mouth

NBA will force a trade to the Lakers for Alex Fudge and a 6th round draft pick.

You typically don't get drafted #1 by a playoff team lol. If he's thinking about leaving the 2nd worst team, who drafted him as the 2nd worst team, after 34 games, then I'd say he isn't thick-skinned enough for the NBA. I'm going to assume you're wrong though and that the Spurs will be just fine in their development.

The Spurs are literally one of the worst teams of all time right now. This isn't your typical bad team drafting first. The problem is they are nowhere close to not tanking. They'll be tanking again next year. They could easily be tanking again in year 3 if next year's top pick doesn't turn out great. The team around him is just so so bad. Not a single one of those guys would start on any of the top 20 teams in the league. Zach Collins would be getting 0 minutes on most teams in the league.

If Wemby had a decent PG and gameplan around him he'd be averaging 25 on 60%
