NBA – In the first quarter of the match against the Rockets, Victor Wembanyama sprained his right ankle. But the Frenchman assures that everything is fine!
The image is frightening, and yet, everything is fine! Against the Rockets, while trying to save a ball in the first quarter, Victor Wembanyama badly twisted his right ankle. The foot is square, and yet the Frenchman gets up and runs again!
“I didn’t feel anything. Everything is fine “ he said at a press conference. As proof, he played 33 minutes, signing his 5th “double-double” in a row with 15 points and 18 rebounds. “My flexibility is an immense, but truly an immense gift” he continues.
Unfortunately, his presence on the field did not prevent the Spurs from suffering a 17th defeat in a row. At the start of the season, some dreamed of San Antonio in the playoffs, and here they are who seize a sad franchise record.
And the defeats keep coming…
“It’s not easy, but we know we have no choice but to persist”continues Victor Wembanyama. “No one doubts that in the long term, we will be winners. Of course, I hate losing, but I stay focused on the long term goal. »
In Houston, the Spurs defended better, and they limited the Rockets to 93 points. An encouraging performance for Gregg Popovich, but insufficient to put an end to this dizzying fall.
“They gave it their all, and I’m disappointed for them. But we have to shoot…”
recalls the San Antonio coach. “It’s hard to know what to do when you miss so many shots. This makes things very, very difficult. But the young people are progressing in all possible areas and I would like them to be able to make progress in terms of shooting.”
” I don’t know… “ laments Wemby when asked if it’s even more frustrating to lose when you defend well. “For me, it’s a defeat like any other. It is difficult to explain. You have to hang on, insist. We do not have a choice. »
