Tom Orsborn: Pop said the date for the medical staff to re-examine Wemby’s right ankle is “coming soon.” “It’s within the next week or two, I believe. But I don’t know the exact date.” Pop said Tuesday that Victor’s minutes restriction wouldn’t be lifted until the ankle is re-examined.

For those who wanted to see the “Wembanyama checks himself in” drama unfold in real time: He gets up to head to the scorers table, Pop sees him, doesn’t care, Mitch Johnson comes over to “remind” him of the restriction, Wemby comes out at the next dead ball. pic.twitter.com/jy4q3NXi8h – 7:00 PM

Updated story with Pop’s reaction to Wemby checking himself in late in Memphis:
“Definitely he is frustrated with the minutes restriction, but he’s also intelligent enough to understand that long-term is what we are interested in.”

Devin Vassell had a positive reaction to Wemby boldly checking himself into the game late at Memphis, but it’s not something he would try himself.
“I don’t know about that one, with that man down there,” he said while gesturing toward Pop. #Spurs

Vassell on Wemby checking himself in late in the game:
“We’re all competitors, and if you feel like you’re in a position to help that team you’re gonna do whatever you can and wanna do. I didn’t know he checked himself in, but I think the coaches addressed it.” – 1:09 PM

Vassell on his reaction when Wemby pulled the 3-point runner:
“This kid is crazy. This kid is actually crazy. He made it, and I looked over at Pop and KJ, because everybody was like ‘there’s no way he just shot that.’ But it went in so Pop didn’t say nothing.” – 1:03 PM
