Sparkling against the Nuggets, Victor Wembanyama hopes to do it again on Sunday against the Pistons, for the last match of the regular season.

But Gregg Popovich sowed doubt in the media.

Transformed again this Friday to give victory to the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama ends his rookie season in a very good way.

He continues the carnage and undoubtedly plans to do the same thing this Sunday, when he crosses paths with Evan Fournier with his Pistons.

A special match since it is the last for the Spurs, who will officially be on vacation afterwards.

Gregg Popovich uncertain about Wembanyama

And all the fans are currently asking themselves this question: will Wemby be there?

We imagine that the Frenchman wants to play, but it would be a shame to get injured in an uninteresting match before the Olympic Games.

The Spurs probably won’t want to take any risks, as Gregg Popovich confirms.

Before the game, Pop explained that the Spurs view Sunday’s game against Detroit at 2:30 p.m. as a back-to-back.

He does not wish to commit to Wemby’s participation in the finale. Victor’s minutes tonight will be taken into account. Something to keep an eye on.

Bad news ? Wembanyama played 37 minutes against the Nuggets, which means it’s possible he could miss Sunday against Detroit.

The medical staff should make a decision quickly.

Wemby? At a press conference, the Frenchman confirmed his desire to play on Sunday, even if Spurs will have the last word.

Popovich, for his part, recognized that anything is possible.

Popovich on Wembanyama : “(He hesitates)… I don’t know if he’s going to listen to me or not, so we’ll see. »

Wembanyama : “I’m ready. I will always fight to try to play. »

Will Victor Wembanyama be present on Sunday against the Pistons?

The Frenchman wants to play, but Spurs want to avoid a stupid injury, especially before a busy summer.

Response within the next 48 hours.
