In the United States, the San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Philadelphia 76ers on April 6, 2026, when their star center Victor Wembanyama exited the game with an injury. In the first half, he experienced a suspected arm issue and briefly left the court but returned to finish the half. Unfortunately, during the second half, he encountered a rib-related concern and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Despite Wembanyama's early departure, the Spurs secured a victory with a final score of 115-102 against the 76ers. Coach Mitch Johnson noted the positive aspect of Wembanyama's return to the game before being sidelined again. Following the game, concerns for the star center's health persisted, leading to X-rays being taken on April 7 that reportedly produced negative results. However, he will continue to undergo further testing to ensure there are no significant issues with his condition. Wembanyama's status for the upcoming match against the Portland Trail Blazers on April 8 remains uncertain and relies heavily on the outcomes of the additional assessments.

As the Spurs gear up for their remaining games, they hope that Wembanyama’s injury will not hinder their playoff ambitions. The major test will be how Wembanyama responds in the following days and whether he can take the court against the Trail Blazers as the team needs him moving forward through the last stretch of the season.
