拉斯维加斯电 – 马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，需要与维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 及团队其他成员进行商议后，才能决定这位全明星中锋在周二晚间对阵纽约尼克斯队的NBA杯决赛中，是首发出战还是替补登场。
约翰逊说：“这是文班亚马和我会继续深入沟通和讨论的事情。这很难抉择。他想上场比赛，想首发，也想打收官阶段。无论你把他的上场时间分配在哪个阶段，都意味着其他阶段的时间会相应减少。”
“不幸的是，我们仍然必须考虑什么对球队最有利。这个决定不能孤立地做出，尽管这是一个影响重大的决定。我们仍需确保这个决定与其他球员的阵容搭配相契合，并考虑到它将如何影响其他人。”
在周六半决赛以111-109战胜俄克拉荷马雷霆队的比赛中，文班亚马直到第二节开始才登场——这是他因小腿伤势连续缺席12场比赛后，近一个月来的首次复出。这一策略最终收到了奇效，因为他在第四节的9分钟内就砍下了全场22分中的15分。
整场比赛，文班亚马出战了21分钟，与马刺医疗团队为其设定的时间限额基本相符。在他11月中旬受伤之前所出战的12场比赛中，他的场均上场时间为34.6分钟。
文班亚马表示，这个决定将是“综合不同意见”的结果。
他说：“但说到底，我已经准备好了。即便我有自己的看法，最终的决定也会基于我和教练组的想法。我刚才好像说了一堆废话，但基本上，我们会一起商量这件事。”
当被问及文班亚马的上场时间限制将持续多久时，约翰逊回答道：“我认为这取决于你如何定义‘限制’这个词。我想我们还没到可以随心所欲安排他上场时间的阶段，无论是在总时间上，还是在单次连续出场时间上。但我们希望确保能从已经发生和经历过的事情中吸取教训，并持续学习。这不代表我们已经找到了所有答案，但我认为这意味着我们不能简单地说一句‘哦，现在一切恢复照旧了’。”
“我认为我们仍在学习过程中，而且我们希望对此保持非常、非常谨慎的态度。”

LAS VEGAS – Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said discussions with Victor Wembanyama and others need to occur before it’s decided whether the All-Star center will start or come off the bench against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night in the NBA Cup final.
“It’ll be something Victor and I will continue to talk through and talk about,” Johnson said. "It’s hard. He wants to play. He wants to start. He wants to finish. Wherever you put some minutes, that means you have less over there.
“We still have to think about what’s best for the team unfortunately. That decision can’t be made in a vacuum, even though it’s a very impactful and influential decision. We still have to make sure it fits with the other rollout of who’s playing with who and how that affects others.”
Wembanyama didn’t enter Saturday’s game – his first in nearly a month after missing 12 in a row due to a calf injury – until the start of the second period in Saturday’s 111-109 win over Oklahoma City in the semifinals. That strategy paid off in the end because he scored 15 of his 22 points over nine minutes in the fourth quarter.
For the game, Wembanyama logged 21 minutes, right around the allotment set by the Spurs medical staff. He was averaging 34.6 minutes per game over the 12 games he appeared in before his injury in mid-November.
Wembanyama said it would be a “mix of different opinions” will go into the decision.
“But, at the end of the day, I’m ready,” he said. “Even if I would have my own opinion, it will also be based on my thoughts and the thoughts of the staff. I just said a bunch of nothing, but basically we’re going to discuss it.”
Asked how long it will be before Wembanyama’s minutes restriction is lifted, Johnson said, "I think that depends on what your definition of a restriction is. I think we’re not at a stage where we will be unintentional with his minutes, whether that’s volume over time, whether that’s long stints. But we want to make sure we’ve learned or continue to learn from what has happened and what we’ve gone through. That doesn’t mean we have the answers, but I think that means we don’t just say, ‘Oh, now we’re back to whatever.’
“I think we are still learning, and we want to be very, very mindful of that.”
