DALLAS (AP) 鈥� star center Victor Wembanyama wasn鈥檛 in the lineup for Saturday night鈥檚 game at Dallas because of a right knee contusion.
Spurs interim coach said the 7-foot-3 Wembanyama, last year鈥檚 unanimous selection as NBA Rookie of the Year, is day to day.
Wembanyama said after the Spurs鈥� on Friday night that his leg was 鈥減retty beat up.鈥�
Wembanyama leads the Spurs averaging 22.7 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He leads the NBA averaging 3.7 blocks per game after topping the league last season with 3.6.
He had 28 points and 14 rebounds playing 34 minutes on Friday. He scored a in Wednesday鈥檚 win over Washington.
Johnson said 鈥渁 lot of minutes and a lot of shots鈥� will change without Wembanyama.
鈥淕uys need to step up,鈥� said Johnson, who has coached the Spurs since Gregg Popovich was sidelined Nov. 2 by what the team called a mild stroke. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 need anyone trying to make a whole bunch of plays individually. We need to move the ball, probably play fast and try to continue to maintain our spacing.鈥�
Zach Collins was scheduled to start in Wembanyama鈥檚 place.
San Antonio鈥檚 next game will be Tuesday at home against Oklahoma City.
