No. A calf strain isn’t the same as an Achilles tear- but they’re connected because a strained calf can increase stress on the Achilles if not handled carefully.
The Spurs acted fast, pulled him early, and confirmed the issue - a smart move to protect the Achilles and reduce risk. A slow, steady recovery is the safest and smartest route forward, so expect the Spurs' medical staff to be cautious even if Wemby wants to rush back.
