Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama made his NBA debut on Wednesday night, and although it was mostly distracted by the No. 1 draft pick’s foul trouble, fans still got a taste of what he has to offer.
The 7’4” center finished with 15 points, five rebounds, two steals, two assists and one major block that came within a minute of his start on Wednesday. The Spurs ended up losing 126–119 in the close matchup against the Mavericks to begin the 2023–24 season.
Wembanyama did all of this in just 23 minutes of play as his time was very limited due to him getting his fifth foul of the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter. NBA fans were not happy with Wembanyama sitting for what seemed like a huge chunk of his debut. Check out some of the social media reaction.
