After making his return from a hyperextended knee, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was promptly put on a minutes restriction. That has become a recurring theme, with this marking the second time in about a month that he's been put on a restriction.
Fans may hate the minutes restriction, and Wembanyama may hate it too. However, there is an obvious silver lining that could help both him and the team in the long run.
The Alien tends to be far more productive on a per-minute basis with limited playing time. In fact, his aggression level seems to be dialed up whenever he has a minute limit.
