Wembanyama left Wednesday’s win over the Knicks during the second half with a left knee hyperextension. While there was no structural damage, the Spurs’ center did not travel for Friday’s game. Luke Kornet was Wembanyama’s replacement in the past, with Kelly Olynyk picking up rotation minutes off the bench. That should remain the case against the Pacers.

Due to left heel bursitis, Williams has not appeared in a game since December 13. With the Thunder also being without Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Branden Carlson has moved into the rotation. However, he has not been productive enough to merit being streamed while Oklahoma City is down two rotation frontcourt players.

Joe was one of several Thunder players to find success on the offensive end on Wednesday. He, along with six other OKC players, scored in double figures, and he did so in less than 20 minutes off the bench. The sharp-shooting guard did all of his work from beyond the arc and was quiet in all other categories. He doesn’t have much value as a fantasy option, but remains a reliable piece in the Thunder’s nightly rotation.

In a December full of near-double-doubles, Holmgren was able to collect his second game of at least 10 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday — he needed just 25 minutes to achieve the feat. Yet, what the former Gonzaga Bulldog did defensively was perhaps even more impressive, tallying eight stocks and setting a new season-high in blocked shots in the process. A blowout win prevented him from doing more damage, but he still finished with a productive night from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

The reigning MVP was limited to 29 minutes of game action, given the wide margin on the scoreboard, but still found a way to register another efficient 30-point outing. He logged his usual production from the charity stripe and did the bulk of his work inside the arc. Gilgeous-Alexander also tied a season-high in steals along the way to help the Thunder secure a third straight win. He finishes 2025 having averaged 30.0 points or better in each of the first three months of the season.

Exhale. While a slight hyperextension in the knee doesn’t sound good, the meat of Charania’s reporting here is that Wembanyama avoided a major injury. That bodes well for the rest of the season, though it’s unclear if Wembanyama will have to miss a game or two later this week. The Spurs have back-to-back games with the Pacers and Trail Blazers on Friday and Saturday.

Fox bounced back after scoring only 14 points in the loss to the Cavaliers Monday to drop 25 points in the win over the Knicks Wednesday. The 28-year-old point guard once again struggled from behind the three-point line. Over the last two games combined, Fox is 2-of-14 from behind the three-point line. A 38 percent three-point shooter this year, he’ll look to add some threes to his otherwise excellent stat line against the Pacers Friday.

Champagnie dropped a career-high 36 points in this one. The 24-year-old small forward’s 11 three-pointers are the second-most anyone has had in a game this year, trailing only Stephen Curry with 12, and a Spurs franchise record. On a night when the Spurs trailed by nine entering the fourth quarter and lost Victor Wembanyama to injury not even two minutes into the fourth quarter, Champagnie kept the Spurs afloat and led the late comeback. With Devin Vassell (adductor) set to miss a few games, Champagnie is rewarding managers that chose to stream him.

Wembanyama landed awkwardly gathering a rebound with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The 21-year-old center left the game and didn’t return. The Spurs were already in the middle of a fourth quarter comeback, but prior to leaving Wembanyama was highly efficient with 31 points on 12 field goal attempts. We’ll have an update on Wembanyama’s health when more information is available. The Spurs have back-to-back games against the Pacers and Trail Blazers later this week.

Wednesday’s game will be the second that Hartenstein has missed with a right soleus strain, which is concerning for fantasy managers. With Jaylin Williams (heel) also out, the minutes that would have gone to Hartenstein should be divided among multiple players, including starter Chet Holmgren and reserve Kenrich Williams.

Vassell is dealing with a strained left adductor, so this may not be the only game that he misses.

Wembanyama started things off with some excitement in the first quarter as he slammed home an alley-oop from Stephon Castle that came off the backboard. The 21-year-old center was efficient with 26 points and 14 rebounds in 27 minutes, but wasn’t much of a factor on the defensive end with one block after recording five blocks in his last game. The Spurs will take on the Knicks Wednesday in the second game of a four-game week.

Gilgeous-Alexander took full control of the offense, hoisting 24 shots — his highest total since December 19 — and carving up the defense inside the arc with a 13-of-19 performance. The reigning NBA MVP remains a nightly force, averaging 32.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks through 32 games this season.

Holmgren recorded his second consecutive 20-point effort, falling one rebound shy of a double-double.

Holmgren took full advantage of Philadelphia’s lack of premium frontcourt defenders with Joel Embiid sidelined due to knee and ankle issues. The 23-year-old dominated defensively and finished one rebound shy of a double-double in an impressive all-around effort where he drained 10-of-13 shots from inside three-point range. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance after being limited to just 17 points combined over his previous two games against the Spurs. Oklahoma City snaps a two-game losing streak and will complete a back-to-back on Monday against the Hawks before facing the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Suns to close out a four-game week.

Williams has leaned into a playmaking role of late, handing out six assists in three straight games while adding seven steals during that stretch.

Johnson only needed 25 minutes to produce one of his best stat lines of the season.

If there’s one aspect of Castle’s game where he hasn’t made significant progress, it’s from beyond the arc. The second-year guard entered Saturday shooting 29.8 percent from deep, and that number will drop following a 1-of-8 effort against the Jazz. The good news is that Castle did enough inside the arc to record his second 20-point game in three appearances, and he recorded another seven assists. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned about the perimeter shooting, given everything else that Castle brings to the table.

Wemby was inserted back into the Spurs’ starting lineup on Saturday, and he was excellent offensively. The 32 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 10, when the phenom dropped 38 in a win over the Bulls. And Wembanyama did his damage in 28 minutes on Saturday, so there is still some kind of limit for him to navigate. Luke Kornet played 19 minutes off the bench, finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot. While deep-league managers may hold on to Kornet for a bit longer, standard-league managers who were streaming him can afford to move on. The Spurs open a four-game Week 11 on Monday against the Cavaliers.
