田纳西州孟菲斯电 — 在最近一次受伤后,当谈到重返赛场时,马刺队球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 向他的教练提出的请战理由非常简单。

“他的请战理由一直就是,‘我能打,我准备好了,我没问题。’”约翰逊说。“你无法不爱这种心态和好胜心。”

这一次,文班亚马似乎赢得了这场“争论”。

在元旦前夜战胜纽约队的比赛中,文班亚马遭遇左膝骨挫伤。目前,他已获准在周二对阵孟菲斯队的比赛中复出。

文班亚马最近的这次伤停时间很短。他缺席了两场比赛——一场是客场战胜印第安纳,另一场是主场不敌波特兰。

“他付出了很多努力,”约翰逊在周二的赛前说道。“我们已经观察和评估了足够的情况,认为可以让他上场一试。”

上周日刚满22岁的文班亚马,在复出初期将替补出场,并且会受到上场时间的限制。

约翰逊表示,文班亚马需要一些时间才能恢复到完整的比赛负荷。

“我预计他今晚打上两分钟就会感到疲劳,”约翰逊说。“因此,在那个阶段,让他硬撑下去是不明智的。”

预计在周三于霜冻银行中心(Frost Bank Center)对阵洛杉矶湖人队的背靠背第二场比赛中,他将被列为出战成疑。他能否出战这场全美直播的比赛,将取决于他打完周二比赛后的身体状况。

“我们会一如既往、并将继续极其谨慎地对待这一情况,”约翰逊说。“这将会是一个动态变化的过程,我们需要不断地进行权衡和调整,直到不再需要为止。”

约翰逊在周二明确表示,马刺队将文班亚马视为需要保护的资产,有时甚至需要防止他自己急于求成。

“我们有责任以一种符合他当前及长远未来最大利益的方式来支持他,”约翰逊说。“他对这个联盟太重要了,他理应得到这样的对待。”

本赛季早些时候,文班亚马曾因左小腿拉伤缺席了12场比赛。

他还可以再缺席四场比赛,仍然能够达到NBA规定的65场出场门槛,从而有资格参评赛季末的各大奖项,如最有价值球员、年度最佳防守球员、NBA最佳阵容和最佳防守阵容等荣誉。

上个赛季,文班亚马就因血栓问题在出战46场比赛后赛季报销,从而无缘上述任何奖项的评选。

约翰逊承认,能否获得奖项评选资格是决定文班亚马是否出战的考量之一,但这并非首要因素。

“我们希望他能在未来很多年都保持健康,”约翰逊说,“而不仅仅是为了赢下接下来的几场比赛或其他什么。”

Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama returns from two-game absence vs. Grizzlies

San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) comes off the court during a time out in the second half of an NBA game with the New York Knicks in San Antonio, Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025. The Spurs beat the Knicks 134-132.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — When it came time to return to the court after his latest injury, the pitch Spurs star Victor Wembanyama made to his coach was simple enough.

“His pitch is just always, ‘I can play. I’m ready to go. I’m good to go,’” Johnson said. “You love that mentality and competitiveness.”

It appears Wembanyama has won the argument this time.

Having suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during a New Year’s Eve victory over New York, Wembanyama has been cleared to return to the floor Tuesday at Memphis.

Wembanyama’s latest stint on the injured list was a short one. He missed a pair of games — a victory at Indiana and a home loss to Portland.

“He put in a lot of work,” Johnson said before tipoff Tuesday. “We’ve seen enough and felt enough to give it a go.”

Wembanyama, who turned 22 last Sunday, will come off the bench and operate on a minutes restriction for the time being.

Johnson indicated it would take Wembanyama time to work up to a full workload.

“I’m expecting him to be tired in two minutes of game time tonight,” Johnson said. “And so at that stage, it would not be wise to have him try to push through.”

He is expected to be listed as questionable for Wednesday’s back-to-back closer against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Frost Bank Center. His availability for that nationally televised contest will be dependent on how he comes out of Tuesday’s tilt.

“We’ll be extremely mindful of the situation, as we have been and will continue to be,” Johnson said. “It’s just going to be one of those living, breathing kind of situations that we’re going to continue to juggle and balance until we don’t.”

Johnson made clear Tuesday the Spurs view Wembanyama as an asset to be protected, occasionally from himself.

“We have a duty to support him in a way that is in the best interest of him now, and for a very long time,” Johnson said. “He’s too important to this league, and he deserves that.”

Earlier this season, Wembanyama missed 12 games with a left calf strain

He can miss four more games and still reach the 65-game threshold the NBA requires to be eligible for postseason awards such as Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, All-NBA and All-Defensive team honors.

Wembanyama was denied a chance at any of the above last season when a blood clot issue ended his campaign after 46 appearances.

Johnson acknowledged awards eligibility is one consideration in Wembanyama’s availability, but not the priority.

“We want him to be healthy for years,” Johnson said, “not just trying to win the next couple games or whatever it may be.”

田纳西州孟菲斯电——圣安东尼奥马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示,球队明星球员维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 将在周二对阵孟菲斯灰熊队的比赛中复出。此前,他因左膝骨挫伤缺席了过去两场比赛。

与本赛季早些时候因小腿拉伤缺阵12场比赛后的恢复过程类似,文班亚马将在对阵灰熊的比赛中替补出场,并且会受到出场时间限制。

约翰逊说:“他付出了大量的努力,我们已经看到了足够多的东西,也感觉足够放心让他尝试复出。” “我们会一如既往地,并且将继续对他的情况保持高度谨慎。这将会是一个需要我们持续进行动态评估和平衡的状况,直到不再需要为止。我猜想这种情况不会(仅仅)只存在于本赛季。”

在跨年夜不敌纽约尼克斯队的比赛中,文班亚马在篮下与卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 和乔丹·克拉克森 (Jordan Clarkson) 争抢篮板时膝盖受伤。落地后,文班亚马立即捂住左膝,痛苦地皱起了眉头,队友斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 随即上前将文班亚马扶起。

文班亚马缺席了那场比赛的剩余时间,第二天的核磁共振(MRI)检查结果显示,这位中锋过度伸展的膝盖并未出现任何韧带损伤。

文班亚马本赛季至今已因伤缺席14场比赛,他最多只能再缺席四场,否则将失去赛季末各大奖项的评选资格。当被问及在文班亚马在幕后积极推动复出一事上,联盟的65场规则是否曾是一个考量因素时,约翰逊回答道。

约翰逊说:“这其中掺杂着很多变量,对吧?” “那个(65场规则)是其中之一。我不知道该用什么词来形容。我认为这很‘现实’。我认为维克托年仅22岁,这很现实。我认为这支球队正处于建队初期,这很现实。我们取得的成功,无论是否在预料之中,都很现实。”

“所以,是的。在所有这些因素中,什么才是优先事项?我确实知道,他的长期健康以及确保我们能约束住这个孩子的好胜心是重中之重。我们希望他能在未来多年都保持健康,而不仅仅是为了赢下接下来的几场比赛。这一点我非常清楚。至于所有其他的事情,我认为它们确实存在。我只是不知道该如何权衡它们的优先级。这就是为什么我们持续进行这些对话,并且不会把任何事情板上钉钉。”

文班亚马本赛季早些时候曾因左小腿拉伤缺席了12场比赛,并于12月13日NBA杯半决赛对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的比赛中回归马刺队阵容。这位法国球员在伤愈复出后的前六场比赛中均以替补身份出战,直到12月27日不敌犹他爵士队的比赛中才首次首发出场。

约翰逊承认,文班亚马曾多次试图说服教练组让他回归赛场。

文班亚马在得分(24.0分)、篮板(11.6个)和盖帽(3.0次)三项数据上均领跑圣安东尼奥马刺队。

约翰逊说:“有一点始终如一,那就是他非常直接和坦率。” “所以,他的说辞总是‘我能打,我准备好了,我可以上场了。’你会尊重这一点,并且会喜爱那种心态和好胜心。这也持续提醒着我们整个组织以及与他进行这些对话的少数人,我们有责任以一种符合他当前和长远最佳利益的方式来支持他,因为他对这个联盟太重要了。他值得我们这样做。”

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama will make his return Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies after sitting out the past two games because of a bone bruise in his left knee, coach Mitch Johnson said.

Similar to the recovery process from a calf strain that sidelined him for 12 games earlier this season, Wembanyama will come off the bench against the Grizzlies and play under a minutes restriction.

“He put in a lot of work and we’ve seen enough and felt [comfortable] enough to give it a go,” Johnson said. “We’ll be extremely mindful of this situation as we have been and will continue to be. It’s just going to be one of those living, breathing kind of situations that we’re going to continue to balance until we don’t. And I would guess that won’t be [just] this season.”

Wembanyama suffered the knee injury in a New Year’s Eve loss to the New York Knicks while battling under the basket to secure a rebound in between Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson. Upon landing on the court, Wembanyama immediately grabbed his left knee and winced in pain as teammate Stephon Castle stepped in to help up Wembanyama.

Wembanyama sat out the rest of the game, and an MRI the next day showed that the center did not sustain any ligament damage to the knee he hyperextended.

Wembanyama has now sat out 14 games because of injuries and can sit out only four more before he loses eligibility for postseason awards. Johnson was asked whether the league’s 65-game rule has ever been a consideration as Wembanyama pushed from behind the scenes to return.

“There’s a lot of variables that are in the mix, right?” Johnson said. "That’s one of them. I don’t know what the word is. I think it’s ‘real.’ I think Victor being [22] is real. I think this team being at the early part of its journey is real. I think the success we’ve had, whether it was expected or not, is real.

“So, yes. What is the priority of all of that? I do know his long-term health and making sure we keep that kid from himself in terms of his competitiveness. We want him to be healthy for years, not for just trying to win the next couple of games. I do know that. All the other stuff, I think it’s real. I just don’t know where it all falls. That’s why we continuously have these conversations, and we don’t put anything in stone.”

Wembanyama sat out 12 games earlier this season because of a left calf strain and returned to the Spurs lineup Dec. 13 during the semifinal round of the NBA Cup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Frenchman came off the bench in his first six games after the injury before making his first start Dec. 27 in a loss to the Utah Jazz.

Johnson acknowledged that Wembanyama had tried on multiple occasions to talk the staff into letting him return.

Wembanyama leads San Antonio in scoring (24.0), rebounding (11.6) and blocks (3.0).

“The one thing that is very consistent is he’s just very direct and straightforward,” Johnson said. “So, his pitch is always, ‘I can play. I’m ready to go. I’m good to go.’ So, you respect that, and you love that mentality and competitiveness. It also continues to remind us as an organization and the few people having those conversations with him that we have a duty to support him in a way that is in the best interest of him now and for a very long time because he’s too important to this league. He deserves that.”
