2026年4月12日（周日），圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1) 在圣安东尼奥霜银中心球馆观看球队对阵丹佛掘金队的比赛。马刺队以118-128负于掘金队。
由于左侧肋骨酸痛，马刺队宣布维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 将缺席周日晚上的常规赛收官战，这让他得以提前开始季后赛前的休整。
这位联盟MVP候选人、年度最佳防守球员的头号热门，在霜银中心球馆穿着便装坐在替补席上，观看了球队以118-128负于丹佛的比赛。马刺队将于周二开始为4月19日开打的季后赛首轮第一场进行训练，届时文班亚马预计将重返赛场。
文班亚马是在上周一击败费城队的比赛中，与保罗·乔治 (Paul George) 相撞导致肋骨受伤的。在缺席了周三战胜波特兰队的比赛后，他在周五晚上以139-120大胜达拉斯队的比赛中回归，仅用26分钟就砍下40分和13个篮板。通过这场比赛，文班亚马也因满足了联盟的“65场规则”而获得了角逐NBA奖项的资格。
“他状态不错，只是还有点酸痛，（我们）觉得让他休战是合适的决定，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在周日的赛前表示。
文班亚马结束了他的第三个NBA赛季，场均贡献25分、11.5个篮板和领跑全联盟的3.1次盖帽，这使他成为联盟历史上仅有的六位在单赛季达成此数据的球员之一。
上一位达成此成就的是1999-2000赛季效力于洛杉矶湖人队的沙奎尔·奥尼尔 (Shaquille O’Neal)。而文班亚马是唯一一位在场均出场时间不足30分钟（29.2分钟）的情况下达到这些门槛的球员。
约翰逊表示，他认为文班亚马的身体在整个赛季中表现得“非常出色”。上赛季，文班亚马仅出战了46场比赛，原因是医生在全明星赛后发现他右肩出现血栓，导致其赛季报销。
“我认为他目前的强壮程度和竞技状态是我共事以来最好的，”教练说道，“他挺过了几场硬仗，我指的不是伤病，而是那种高水平竞争带来的身体对抗和消耗。”
马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在因各种小伤连续缺席两场比赛后，于周日重返赛场。在对阵掘金队的近29分钟出场时间里，他险些拿到本赛季的第六次三双，最终贡献了10分、11个篮板和9次助攻。
“我感觉很好，”他在赛后表示，“我觉得我的体能状态保持得不错。身体感觉很棒，没有一瘸一拐的情况。这是最重要的。”
除了文班亚马，马刺队还预计将在周二迎来替补中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的回归训练。科内特因右肩酸痛缺席了周日的比赛。
新秀后卫迪兰·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在周日比赛的第四节因左手拇指受伤离场。约翰逊在赛后并未透露伤情的具体细节，但哈珀在赛后告诉《圣安东尼奥新闻快报》，他只是戳到了手指。

Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama gets head start on resting before playoffs
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) reacts as he watches his team take on the Denver Nuggets at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, April 12, 2026. The Spurs fell to the Nuggets, 128-118.
Victor Wembanyama got a head start on resting up for the playoffs when the Spurs ruled him out of Sunday night’s regular season finale because of a sore left ribcage.
The league MVP candidate and overwhelming favorite to win defensive player of the year watched the 128-118 loss to Denver on the bench in street clothes at the Frost Bank Center. He’s expected to be back on the court Tuesday when the Spurs begin practicing for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on April 19.
Wembanyama hurt his ribs when he collided with Paul George in last Monday’s win over over Philadelphia. After sitting out Wednesday’s victory over Portland, he returned to record 40 points and 13 rebounds in just 26 minutes in a 139-120 rout of Dallas on Friday night in which Wembanyama became eligible for NBA awards by satisfying the league’s 65-game rule.
“He’s doing well but just a little sore and (we) felt it was the appropriate decision (sit him)," Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before Sunday’s game.
Wembanyama finished his third NBA season averaging 25 points, 11.5 rebounds and a league-best 3.1 blocks per game, making him just the sixth player in league history to reach those marks in the same season.
The most recent was Shaquille O’Neal for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999-2000. Wembanyama is the only player to reach those thresholds while averaging fewer than 30 minutes per game (29.2).
Johnson said he thought Wembanyama’s body held up “tremendously” throughout the course season after he played in only 46 games last season due to a season-ending blood clot in his right shoulder that doctors discovered after the All-Star break.
“I think he’s the strongest, the best in shape he’s been in since I’ve been around,” the coach said. “He’s fought through some games just in terms of, not injury, but physicality, the toll of a really competitive high-level game.”
Spurs guard Stephon Castle returned to action Sunday after missing the previous two games in a row due to a variety of nagging injuries. In nearly 29 minutes against the Nuggets, he nearly recorded his sixth triple-double of the season, finishing with 10 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists.
“I feel good,” he said after the game. “I feel like my conditioning was not too far off. My body feels good, so I wasn’t out there limping or anything. That’s the most important thing.”
In addition to Wembanyama, the Spurs are also expected to welcome backup center Luke Kornet back to the practice court on Tuesday after he sat out Sunday’s game with right shoulder soreness.
Rookie guard Dylan Harper left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter because of an injured left thumb. Johnson didn’t have any details about the extent of the injury afterward, but Harper told the San Antonio Express-News after the game he jammed it.
