Victor Wembanyama's first month as an NBA player impressed commissioner Adam Silver, who raved about the first-overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft in a chat with reporters on Monday night.
The San Antonio Spurs rookie has faced immediate pressure on and off the court as one of the most hyped prospects in basketball history. Already, he has navigated harsh scrutiny of a rocky Summer League debut and an incident in Las Vegas involving Britney Spears, where the singer accused one of his security guards of brushing her away with excessive force.
Silver is a man any NBA player wants on their good side, given his power to levy suspensions. So Wembanyama will be pleased to hear he received a favourable report from the commissioner.
