Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

Don’t recall ever seeing him in a walking boot to begin with.

My armchair speculation is that the team/Wemby will be loathe to give him a tight minutes restriction (ie 15 mins like with Harper) due to the negative impact that has on his per game averages for award consideration. I think they will opt to give him an extra 7-10 days beyond what they normally would so when he comes back they at least feel comfortable with 28+ mins per night.

It does tighten the 65 game window a bit.

It will be interesting to see how hard Wemby is going to lobby to get back on court sooner than later. I think he is in real danger of missing the 65-game cut for awards and All-NBA (6 games already missed and we are still in November) and he knows that. Got to keep a margin of error in case he sustains another injury late in season or some random flu/food poisoning game (s).
 
You know who probably really gives a shit about this cup? Victor. Unless it’s super serious he’s gonna lobby to get out there.
 
I still personally feel like Wemby is actually targeting Memphis on Tuesday and that he stayed home for the road trip as a compromise with the medical team in order to push hard on his rehab at the home facilities.

The injury report tomorrow should be informative. I’m thinking Wemby (and Castle) will at least be upgraded to day to day but might not play.

You’re right, Wemby never wore a boot and was on the bench for the next game against the Kings. However, he did sport some unusual shoes during the Memphis game. They weren’t medical, just fashion.

Just came here to post that tweet. Big news that we now have 5v5 confirmation for Wemby. Means he should be back (assuming no setbacks) sometime within next 3 games.
 
if the offense flows like it does now, he’s a 25 12 and 5 with 4 blocks. Smells like winning. But that’s the thing I mentioned in the “what happens to the offense” thread…there’s likely a forfeiture of some of the career accolades if he plays in this kind of system as opposed to doing the Denver way. I’ve seen enough of the cram-it-thru-Vic offense to think that the team is better off forcing things through him. So I think it’s better this way unless he’s actually going to become the Dallas captain insane-o guy full time. Which seems unlikely.

I like the confidence. Great players know they’re the best. There’s nothing wrong about that, but now as somebody mentioned, it’s time to back it up.

I sincerely hope that the offense stays the same, and Wemby is inserted as the best defensive player of the league, as opportunistic scorer capitalizing from the activities of our guards. The offense needs to stay fast, slashes, attack the basket, and pick and rolls. This team could be much much improved. Pop always envisioned that 3-guard offense, now add the most dominant defensive player to that.

Fox as a clutch player is critical. He brings toughness especially during those times they needed a basket. Plus he gets those ticky-tack fouls that normally reserved to Curry, SGA, Doncic, Harden - yes the same foul baits I hate, just not as bad when it’s Fox receiving them. It’s funny the other night, when Austin Reaves couldn’t buy a foul. I kept saying to myself, “too bad you’re not Fox” :ROFLMAO:
 
Victor was wearing an 'Air Afrique' shirt on the bench during the LAL game. Wondered about the significance, then saw this story in the NY Times Magazine about an MOMA exhibition coming up of Parisian art collective based on the cultural history and significance of Air Afrique. Collective has some sponsorship from Louis Vuitton.

he mentioned Giannis and SGA too
When he comes back, "it will be me"
That's not putting a target on your back, that's grabbing the barrel and pressing it to your forehead.
Show us now, young man.

Nike, also, apparently (jersey had the logo).
