Victor Wembanyama makes his San Antonio Spurs debut in the NBA Summer League game with the Charlotte Hornets, putting Britney Spears drama behind
NBA #1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama has finally made his debut for the San Antonio Spurs.
Basketball fans have been waiting for this moment for some time, and spectators in Las Vegas had to wait even longer, as the Rockets and Blazers’ game on the same court previously caused a delay in the Spurs-Hornets clash.
The French phenomenon missed his first three shots of the night before converting a layup to end his brief losing streak.
He finished the first quarter with just three points but also grabbed three rebounds and showed smooth ball handling and passing.
He had not participated in the first two games that the team participated in in the California Summer League.
New video footage has emerged today showing the moment the pop star was beaten by a security guard guarding the 7-foot-tall phenomenon.
Wembanyama spoke about the Spears saga on Thursday night, 24 hours before he arrived at the Thomas & Mack Center as a Spurs player.
