Have y’all watched the San Antonio Spurs during the Summer League games in Las Vegas? The team has decided to sit Wemby for the remainder of the summer season. Victor Wembanyama played the first two games in Las Vegas (Friday, July 7 and Sunday, July 9) and totaled 27 minutes of game time.
Why is Wembanyama sitting out?
Long story short, the Spurs have seen everything they need to see from the 19-year old basketball star. After closely watching Wemby on the court, the team decided he needs time to reset and rest in preparation of training + conditioning camp that’ll start in October, followed by a regular season.
What is NBA Summer League?
NBA Summer League is an off-season basketball tournament where NBA teams come together to try out different summer rosters instead of their regular season lineups. This gives rookies, sophomores, and G League affiliate players a opportunity to show off their skills in uniform.
Wembanyama told ESPN that he plans to talk to Coach Pop about a plan for the remainder of the summer. Tune in tonight at 9:30 p.m. and watch the Spurs battle the Washington Wizards.
