Victor Wembanyama News: Cleared to play OKC

Wembanyama (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Wembanyama was initially listed as questionable as the Spurs continue to limit his workload following a 12-game absence due to a left calf strain, but the third-year center has officially been cleared to play. He made his return from the extended absence against the Thunder in the semifinals of the NBA Cup on Dec. 13, when he finished with 22 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes. Wembanyama has come off the bench in each of the four regular-season games since his return, and he'll continue to have his playing time monitored to reduce the risk of injury aggravation.
