The tension is apparent as the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz clash in a pivotal Western Conference battle. With playoff hopes on the line, every possession is a make-or-break. Injuries loom large, and coaches are left scrambling to adjust their depth charts, knowing that this game could shape the trajectory of their seasons. Expect high stakes, fierce competition, and plenty of drama as two of the West’s most hungry teams clash. But, before the clash, let’s deep dive into their injury reports and more.

Is Victor Wembanyama playing against the Spurs? What does the injury report say?

We’ll look at the Spurs injury report first. It was on Friday against the Lakers when Wembanyama collided with Anthony Davis in the fourth quarter, which left Wemby injuring his knee. As a result, the Frenchman missed playing two following matches and will be missing against the Jazz, as he reported as “out” in the injury report. However, the next hoopster, Devin Vassell, is also reported as “out” due to his left knee soreness. He last played against the Lakers and will sit alongside Wemby against the Jazz.

With that side, one more hooper, Jeremy Sochan, will be sitting out as their forward due to his thumb injury. The hoopster fractured his left thumb against the Clippers and is scheduled for surgery this week. The Spurs have two players report as “day-to-day,” one being Zach Collins due to left knee tendinitis and Chris Paul due to a left thumb sprain. Paul suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb on Monday against the OKC Thunder. With this, it’s an end for the Spurs injury report, and no, we look into what’s happening with the Jazz.

The hooper in the Jazz injury report is Jordan Clarkson reported as “day-to-day” due to left plantar fasciitis. He first experienced it against the Spurs on November 1st as he suffered a left heel pain in the third quarter. The team, however, had announced that he would be re-evaluated in one week, and he came back after a week against the Bucks on November 8th and played all the following games. But he continues to deal with the injury, as his questionable status brings concerns again.

Walker Kessler has been ruled out due to his hip injury. He last played against the Spurs and will miss his sixth straight game due to right hip bursitis. Their last player ruled is their forward, Taylor Hendricks, who underwent successful surgery to repair a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle. The injury occurred as he lost his valance while running down the court against the Mavs on October 28. With that said, it’s time to look into their depth chart.
