Kornet (shoulder) is not listed on the Spurs' injury report ahead of Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Kornet was dealing with right shoulder soreness toward the tail end of the regular season, which prompted the Spurs to rest the veteran big man against the Nuggets on April 12. Kornet has been cleared to play Sunday and will likely remain the top big man off San Antonio's bench behind Victor Wembanyama.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Wembanyama (ribs) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Wembanyama sat out San Antonio's regular-season finale with a minor rib injury, but he should be back and starting Sunday. His return should shift Mason Plumlee back to the second unit.
Wembanyama (ribs) is out for Sunday's game against Denver, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Wembanyama returned from a one-game absence for Friday's 139-120 win over the Mavericks. However, since he reached the 65-game threshold for awards eligibility, he can take the night off to rest up for the postseason. With Luke Kornet (shoulder) also out, Mason Plumlee or Kelly Olynyk could get the start at the five.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Although Wembanyama has already reached the 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards thanks to his appearance in the NBA Cup title game, he could still suit up in San Antonio's regular-season finale. The star big man would likely be limited if he's cleared to suit up, as he's still dealing with left ribcage soreness after sustaining a rib contusion in Monday's win over the 76ers.
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Erupts for 40 points in win
Rotowire
Wembanyama closed Friday's 139-120 win over the Mavericks with 40 points (14-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes.
Wembanyama returned from a one-game absence due to a left rib contusion and impressed in his limited run, recording game-high marks in points and rebounds en route to his seventh double-double over his last eight appearances. The 22-year-old has scored 40-plus points in three of those eight outings and in five games this season. With the Spurs gearing up for the postseason, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wembanyama sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nuggets.

With the star big man back in action, Luke Kornet is expected to slide to the second unit. Wembanyama has averaged 27.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.1 steals across 28.2 minutes per showing over his last 10 appearances.

Rotowire
Wembanyama (ribs) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's game against the 76ers and then sat out Wednesday's matchup with Portland.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Doubtful for Wednesday
Rotowire
Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's 115-102 win over the 76ers. It appears the 22-year-old will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Trail Blazers, though Chris Haynes of NBA TV reported Tuesday that his MRI came back clean, and he is considered day-to-day. If Wembanyama is indeed ruled out Wednesday, Luke Kornet is the favorite to enter the starting lineup.
Wembanyama won't return to Monday's game against the 76ers due to a left rib contusion, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports. He'll finish with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 16 minutes.
Wembanyama exited to the locker room in the second quarter with what initially appeared to be an arm injury, but he returned to the hardwood shortly thereafter. However, the star big man didn't start the second half and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game. Luke Kornet should help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Loses OT duel with Joker
Rotowire
Wembanyama posted 34 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The third-year superstar led the Spurs in scoring en route to his 41st double-double of the season, but Wembanyama was just a little less productive than Nikola Jokic, who led all scorers on the afternoon with 40 points. Wemby has pulled down at least 15 boards in six straight appearances, all double-doubles, and over that stretch he's averaging a massive 30.7 points, 16.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.0 blocks, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals as San Antonio tries to chase down OKC for the top seed in the Western Conference.
