Victor Wembanyama was top five on the NBA's KIA MVP Ladder before he missed 12 games due to a calf injury. During that time, the Spurs' franchise star fell off the list completely. Understandable; your fitness tracker doesn't read any progress when you're not taking any steps.
Fortunately, it didn't take him long to get back into the top ten when he returned. Wemby has a chance to make history this season. If he wins the Most Valuable Player of the Year award, he'll be the youngest to do it, supplanting Derrick Rose, who set the record in 2011 with his jaw-dropping athleticism and clutch ability.
