San Antonio star center Victor Wembanyama limped to the locker room with an apparent left leg injury during the fourth quarter of the Spurs' home game against the visiting New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Wembanyama came down awkwardly with 10:32 to play as he attempted to secure an offensive rebound.

He stayed down until teammate Stephon Castle helped him up, then hobbled his way to straight to the locker room while giving fans reassurance and saying, "I'm fine. I'm fine."

Wembanyama amassed 31 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes before leaving the game with the Spurs down 102-96.

Entering the night, Wembanyama was averaging 24 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 20 games this season. He was sidelined for 12 games from Nov. 16-Dec. 10 due to a left calf strain. Upon his return, he spent six games coming off the bench on a minutes restriction before rejoining the starting lineup last weekend.
