19-year-old French pivot officially debuts for the NBA this Wednesday, 25th, when the San Antonio Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks at home
The 2023/24 season of NBA has begun and the spotlight around the world is focused on Victor Wembanyama. The 19-year-old French pivot impressed everyone during the pre-season and will make his debut in the North American league this Wednesday, the 25th, with the San Antonio Spurs in front of Dallas Mavericks. In interviews this past Tuesday, the 24th, the giant made a point of making clear the excitement of the opportunity, revealing that he plans to play in all possible matches.
“All the games. If there is no excessive risk to my health. Of course I can’t predict the future, but I want to play every game.”, said the Frenchman. During the Summer League and pre-season, the player was preserved by the Texan franchise, who played a full season for Metropolitana 92, in France. “This game feels even more surreal. A month ago, I thought a few preseason games would prepare me for this moment, and that it would just be one more game. But it’s totally different. The fact that it’s a real regular season game is different.”completed the pivot.
Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs take the court this Thursday, 26th, at 10:30 pm (Brasília time). The Frenchman’s mission is to raise the level of the Texans’ defense, which suffered last season, in addition to having a huge offensive impact, dominating the paint in any match.
