Victor Wembanyama has continued to be unstoppable this season, leading the Spurs as one of the top seeds in the West currently.

It's vital he's on the court due to how impactful he is, but his status over the past few weeks has been in question at times due to the injuries he has been dealing with.

With his minutes load being abnormal amid his injuries over the past couple of weeks, we were able to get clarity on whether Wembanyama will play a second consecutive game tonight against the Timberwolves.

Will Victor Wembanyama play against the Timberwolves on Sunday?

NBA reporter Michael C. Wright announced that Spurs' coach Mitch Johnson revealed the status of Wembanyama for tonight's game.

Against the Celtics, Wembanyama had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and a +15 in a tight win in Boston.

Wembanyama has already missed 14 games this season and is playing just 29.1 minutes this season, compared to 33.2 minutes last season.

The Spurs had him come off the bench in the last three games, but it hasn't really stopped Wembanyama from being a threat and productive when he enters the game.
