After months of anticipation and build-up, Victor Wembanyama’s long-awaited debut finally appears to be on the horizon following his selection by the Spurs with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Fans eager to see Wembanyama in action were finally given dates to mark on their calendars on Friday after the NBA released its full summer league schedule. The Spurs will participate in two of the three sessions in Sacramento and Las Vegas, with the third session taking place in Salt Lake City.
With the slate now official, the 19-year-old phenom could be in for a huge first game with the Spurs set to face the Hornets and 2023 No. 2 pick Brandon Miller on Day 1 of the California Classic on July 3. The Spurs will then face the Lakers on July 5; both games will air on ESPN2.
