After his first preseason game, Victor Wembanyama is already forming rivalries in the NBA.
The NBA unveiled the three finalists for each of its seven major individual awards for the 2023-24 regular season Sunday night, headlined by Nikola Jokic, an MVP finalist for a fourth straight season, and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, a finalist for Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The San Antonio Spurs will hold rookie Victor Wembanyama out of Wednesday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of right ankle injury management.
Wednesday features a pair of gems on ESPN, starting with the Oklahoma City Thunder visiting the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) and Jalen Williams (ankle) both missed Tuesday's game and the Thunder took an L to the Philadelphia 76ers, who welcomed back Joel Embiid, making his first appearance since Jan. 30 due to a meniscus injury. Embiid racked up 24 points, six rebounds, four assists and a block and Kelly Oubre led the way with 25 points for the Sixers, while Chet Holmgren paced the Thunder with 22 points, seven rebounds, two blocks and three 3-pointers. SGA and Williams will both be game-time calls for the Thunder on Wednesday, but there's a chance both of them will play tonight. Especially since they're still battling with the Nuggets and Timberwolves for the No. 1 seed in the West.
PHILADELPHIA — When Joel Embiid barreled down the court inside the final 30 seconds of Tuesday night's game against the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, the sellout crowd inside Wells Fargo Center rose to its feet.
The Oklahoma City Thunder entered the season as the NBA's second youngest and least experienced team with an average age of 24.12 years and 2.22 seasons.
When Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards levitated over Utah Jazz center John Collins on Monday, other players around the NBA followed the trend.
