Victor Wembanyama’s debut in the NBA Summer League on Friday night in Las Vegas neither filled the stats list nor caused a stir on the highlight reels. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NBA draft quietly scored nine points, eight rebounds, five blocks and three in 27 minutes in the San Antonio Spurs’ 76-68 win over the Charlotte Hornets at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas assists He shot 2 of 13 from the field and 1 of 6 from 3-point range.
Wembanyama has a chance to make another impression on the NBA world when the Spurs play their second Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2). Scoot Henderson, the No. 3 overall draft pick, will reportedly be out after suffering a shoulder injury in his first game on Friday against the Houston Rockets.
Sunday’s Summer League sessions sold out for the third straight year as NBA fans and greats gather in the desert to watch the much-anticipated first games of the acclaimed French phenomenon. Yahoo Sports is in Las Vegas bringing you the latest news, highlights and more from Wembanyama’s second game.
