San Antonio Spurs Injury Update: Victor Wembanyama Status, Dylan Harper Out With 8 Players Listed vs. Lakers (Nov. 5)

The San Antonio Spurs and LA Lakers cross swords in a marquee matchup between two Western Conference powerhouses on Wednesday. Victor Wembanyama is available to play, but the Spurs' roster is hanging by a thread. Eight players are listed on San Antonio's injury report ahead of the blockbuster matchup against Luka Doncic's team.

De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet are not available to play. Fox is inching closer to making his season debut, but remains out with a right hamstring strain. Harper suffered a left calf strain in the previous game against the Phoenix Suns and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Kornet's absence streak extends to five games as the 7-foot-1 center is nursing a left ankle sprain.

Meanwhile, five Spurs players are listed as "questionable" on the injury report. Jeremy Sochan (left wrist sprain), Kelly Olynyk (left heel surgery), Lindy Waters III (bilateral eye procedure), Harrison Ingram (two-way G League) and Riley Minix (two-way G League) remain uncertain to suit up against the Purple and Gold.

The San Antonio Spurs' five-game win streak was snapped by the Suns on Sunday. Victor Wembanyama recorded his first bad outing of the season, which compounded to Spurs' misery. The French phenom shot a poor 4 of 15 from the floor, including 1 of 5 from deep, while scoring nine points.

Wembanyama and the Spurs would be desperate to bounce back with a win in Los Angeles. Their task, however, is a daunting one as the Lakers (6-2) have begun the season strongly, despite their key players missing time.
