Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama set to play, while Lakers’ LeBron James rests

By Canadian Press on January 7, 2026.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama was set to play Wednesday night, while Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been ruled out.

Both were listed as questionable on the second night of back-to-back games.

Wembanyama had 30 points Tuesday night in a 106-105 loss at Memphis after missing two games because of left knee soreness.

James also had a 30-point night Tuesday, helping the Lakers to a 111-103 victory in New Orleans.
