The San Antonio Spurs will have Victor Wembanyama available tonight as they face the New York Knicks in a regular-season rematch of this season’s NBA Cup Final. Wembanyama does not appear on the Spurs’ injury report and will suit up after another strong individual outing in San Antonio’s recent loss to Cleveland, when he posted 26 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists. The 21-year-old has been a steady presence despite team struggles, carrying season averages near 24.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game.

San Antonio arrives looking to stop a two-game slide; New York is on a three-game winning streak. The Spurs’ roster, however, remains banged up. Stephon Castle is listed as day-to-day with a left thumb sprain and is questionable for the matchup, and Devin Vassell has been ruled out tonight with a right adductor injury. Those absences will force San Antonio to rely more heavily on Wembanyama and other rotation pieces to cover ball-handling, playmaking and perimeter scoring holes.

The Knicks also enter the game with notable injuries. Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson will both miss tonight’s contest due to ankle issues. Young guard Tyler Kolek is questionable with right ankle soreness, and center Ariel Hukporti is probable after a lip laceration. Landry Shamet has been ruled out with a shoulder injury. Those losses and uncertainties affect New York’s depth and interior coverage, and they could prompt lineup adjustments that test bench players and matchups on both ends.

With both teams dealing with key absences, tonight’s matchup will hinge on depth, health management and how coaches adjust rotations. Wembanyama’s availability is a clear boost for San Antonio and central to the Spurs’ ability to contend with New York’s size and physicality, while the Knicks will need others to step up in the frontcourt and backcourt to maintain their winning run. The game offers a measuring stick for both clubs as they balance short-term results and roster maintenance after recent streaks in opposite directions.
