The San Antonio Spurs are just 13-48 on the season, the worst record in the Western Conference. However, they have Victor Wembanyama, who is a generational talent that will change the trajectory of this franchise for many years to come.

What Wembanyama has done in such a short amount of time is magical, especially given that he can be a force on both ends of the court. It seems like Wemby makes history and does something special every single night he takes the court.

However, he was initially in danger not to do so on Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets after he landed on the injury report. This has led many to ask: Is Victor Wembanyama playing vs. the Rockets on Tuesday night?

Wembanyama is on a collision course with the NBA's Rookie of the Year award. The 2023 first overall pick has been dominant as of late and is really starting to showcase his all-around game rather than just his length.

In fact, Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games, including six straight double-doubles. He has also done so while not missing a game since Jan. 19.

Ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Wemby found himself in danger of missing his seventh game of the season due to what the team is calling left-shoulder soreness. The Spurs had the rookie listed as questionable to play on their injury report as of Tuesday morning.

Fortunately, an hour before tip-off, the team announced that he's available to play, per Tom Orsborn of San Antonio Express-News.

In a total of 55 games this season, Wembanyama has averaged 20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks per game while shooting 47.0 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from 3-point range.

The French phenom currently leads all players across the NBA in blocked shots with 186 total blocks this season. The next closest player is Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez with 158 total blocks.

Even if Wembanyama is limited against the Rockets, Zach Collins should be able to back him up. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Dominick Barlow would also be candidates to see their minutes increase off the bench should Gregg Popovich restrict Wemby's minutes.

So when it comes to the question of whether Victor Wembanyama is playing tonight vs. the Rockets, the answer is YES.
