Victor Wembanyama scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half, including a game-sealing jumper with 19.2 seconds left, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Boston Celtics 100-95.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs received positive news on Jan. 1. The Spurs star suffered a leg injury during the 134-132 victory over the New York Knicks on Dec. 31. Wembanyama’s MRI came back clean with no sign of ligament damage, according to ESPN.

The Celtics attempted just four free throws in the game. Brown, their leading scorer and most aggressive player around the rim, did not take any.

After the Spurs’ 134-132 win, it was confirmed that Wembanyama hyperextended his knee. He underwent tests that did not find any other concerns, and is set for further examination Thursday. Despite the early exit, the third-year center set his intentions clear following the game.

Wemby opened up on his thoughts about the City of Boston after San Antonio held off Boston in a tight contest throughout, and had praise for Boston in areas one might not expect. "I mean, playing in Boston is cool," said the Spurs star.

In a recent interview, Victor Wembanyama left TD Garden with a strong message about Boston’s basketball legacy.

The Frenchman scored 16 of his 21 in the second half, including a game-sealing jumper with 19.1 seconds left, to lead the Spurs past Boston 100-95 on Saturday.

Despite knocking off the Lakers after having lost four of their previous six games, Victor Wembanyama says it's not a reset for the Spurs.
