Yes, I hope so.
First time I lost a spoke on my 40 year old Mavic wheel, I was lucky- it was not on the freewheel side.
I found a spare old spoke to fit on. Just lifted off the tubular a few inches.
BUT, then, soon thereafter, two spokes broke at the hub elbow of the freewheel side.
In short, when one spoke goes, be wise and rebuild the entire wheel.
I re-spoked the wheel myself, saving a lot of money.
Then took the wheel to a pro shop for the final truing.
Paid about $45. for the spokes & nipples, & another $45. for the truing.
