Wembanyama & NBA at NASA: Basketball Reaches for the Stars

While France is playing the Eurobasket in Poland, the star of the Blues Victor Wembanyama is in NASA. Present at the Johnson space center in Houston, Wemby has never borne his nickname as well as in such a place.

On Instagram, NASA relates the arrival of the NBA star who was able to visit the installation center for space vehicle models, then the mission control center and attended a lunar rover tour.

A visit that the UFO Wembanyama will keep in him for a long time. And these are the eyes filled with stars that we have seen on the clichés revealed by NASA.

By visiting NASA, Wemby had a kid’s dream. Like a summer when the French star, deprived of the prosecution since last February because of a venous thrombosis on the shoulder, was able to make a spiritual retreat with Shaolin monks in China.

For the past few days, Victor Wembanyama has officially been able to resume training. He was expected to play his first preseason match on October 6 against the Chinese team of Guangzhou Loong in Texas before the opening of the NBA season on October 23 against Dallas.
