    Wembanyama is close to returning from a strained left calf after four weeks out, with coach Mitch Johnson saying the center had an intense workout and could be ready for the Cup semifinal in Las Vegas. He has missed 12 straight games since November 14. San Antonio have surprisingly gone 9-3 without him, riding Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox and a deep rotation, but Johnson still calls Wembanyama the biggest puzzle piece. His comeback would add scoring, rim protection and star power as the Spurs push for a place in Tuesday’s Cup final.

    Dallas confirmed Lively will have season-ending surgery on his right foot after weeks of swelling and soreness limited him to seven games, where he averaged 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 16.4 minutes. The 21-year-old’s latest setback follows previous foot issues that restricted him to 55 and then 36 games in his first two seasons, compounding Dallas’ injury problems with Kyrie Irving still out after ACL surgery and putting more on Anthony Davis as the team fights from 11th in the West.
