See Monaco and die (or almost). Oscar Wembanyama’s weekend was busy. After facing the Roca Team Espoirs team on Saturday with Strasbourg, the young adult (18 years old) rubbed shoulders with the big guys on Sunday for the first time in his career. A professional first for Victor’s little (2.04 m) little brother who will not go down in history, with a logical defeat (88-74) against the new leaders of the French championship.
In seven minutes of play, Oscar Wembanyama still took the opportunity to score his first professional point, on a free throw. His stats sheet was enhanced by a rebound, an assist and a personal foul against Nikola Mirotic and his friends. With this defeat, the SIG drops to sixth position, behind Bourg-en-Bresse, who defeated Gravelines-Dunkerque (84-75).
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, back a month after his last match, Victor Wembanyama was decisive on Saturday during the prestigious victory of the San Antonio Spurs over the Oklahoma City Thunder (111-109) to qualify for the final of the NBA Cup in Las Vegas. Despite reduced playing time, the French alien still scored 22 points (9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks), including 15 in the last quarter. There are worse models for Oscar.
