What Wembanyama’s availability means for the matchup
San Antonio’s offense runs through De’Aaron Fox and Wembanyama. He is averaging around mid-20s in points with strong rebounding and rim protection this season.
Detroit is missing Isaiah Stewart, which leaves them lighter in the frontcourt. Wembanyama’s size and shooting will be a factor on both ends.
The Spurs are likely to use pick-and-roll actions between Fox and Wembanyama, with Stephon Castle working off that space. Jalen Duren will handle most of the interior matchup for Detroit.
Pre-game projections slightly favor the Pistons at home, but those projections assume Wembanyama is playing.
