圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (1号) 在2025年12月31日星期三于圣安东尼奥对阵纽约尼克斯队的NBA比赛下半场的一次暂停中走下球场。马刺队以134-132击败尼克斯。
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.”
