The nearby Times Square skyscrapers still shine brightly. It’s 10 p.m. on the east coast of the United States (4 a.m. this morning in France) and Victor Wembanyama seems completely extinct. He has just been soundly swept away in New York (126-105). He bends his long figure in the too-narrow corridors of Madison Square Garden, this legendary hall considered the Mecca of basketball. “We’re young, we’re learning,” he tries to play down the drama. The Spurs have just experienced their third consecutive defeat, following those at Indiana and against Toronto. After an exciting debut in the NBA, full of highlights and positive results, the return to reality is difficult for the Frenchman and his teammates.
