San Antonio Spurs generational talent Victor Wembanyama hobbled to the sideline before exiting the court completely midway through the first quarter of Friday’s home game vs. the New York Knicks. The 20-year-old favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year has since returned to the court, re-entering to start the second quarter.

Wemby appeared to knock knees with another player. An initial glance shows he may have run into teammate Jeremy Sochan.

After heading to the bench with a little more than six minutes left in the opening period, Wembanyama took a seat. Spurs team trainer Will Sevening came over to talk to the top pick in last summer’s draft. Shortly thereafter, Wemby left the bench area and headed toward the tunnel.

Several minutes later Wembanyama, with around two minutes to go in the first quarter, returned to the court during a timeout and joined his team in the huddle.
