Spurs' Victor Wembanyama won't play in season finale Sunday - ESPN

Victor Wembanyama's rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs is over.

The Spurs said that the 7-foot-4 French phenom will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Detroit Pistons, ending a season that will almost certainly see him take home Rookie of the Year honors.

His final numbers: 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and an NBA-best 3.6 blocked shots per game.

Wembanyama — the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft — appeared in 71 games with the Spurs, who enter the finale with a 21-60 record and tied with Portland for the worst record in the Western Conference ahead of the season's final day.

He had 34 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 5 3-pointers in what was his last game as a rookie, a 121-120 win over defending NBA champion Denver on Friday night. The Spurs rallied from 23 points down to win the game.
