Following the Spurs' NBA Cup game win over the Lakers, head coach Mitch Johnson was asked when Wemby could return to the floor. The first-year coach signaled that he could return from his calf strain as soon as Saturday against the Thunder—potentially giving the Silver & Black a major boost against the defending champions.

After clinching a spot in the NBA Cup semifinals with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, the San Antonio Spurs could have Victor Wembanyama back for the next round.

They're now 9-3 without Victor Wembanyama, and for those that want to throw dookie on the plus/minus stat, last year the Spurs only had three players on their roster with a positive flex.
