A nice gesture and beautiful images. During the night from Monday to Sunday, Victor Wembanyama made happy a young supporter who came to see him play. The latter wore a Nanterre jersey, the Frenchman’s former team, printed with his name. The Spurs interior joined him on the edge of the floor to greet him and signed his tunic.
This Monday morning, the Nanterre club welcomed the sequence by sharing the video on X and accompanying it with three green hearts.
The rest of the evening was less joyful for the 20-year-old. After two overtimes, San Antonio ended up losing to the Sixers (133-126). Despite everything, Victor Wembanyama once again delivered a colossal performance with 30 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 blocks.
After the meeting, the French giant (2.22 m), big favorite to obtain the title of best rookie of the season, praised the performance of Nicolas Batum. The 35-year-old Frenchman scored 9 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, but above all he was directly opposite Victor Wembanyama for a good part of the match.
“Nico Batum, beyond the French player I have known for years, he is a player I have never heard anything bad about,” Wemby confided after the match. We are often told that when it is Batum who is defending, we cannot pass. That’s how good he is. The 76ers are very attached to him. It is so precious that everyone would like to have it. »
