Rookie big man Victor Wembanyama has played well enough to be an All-Star this season, but the San Antonio Spurs haven’t played at a high enough level for him to get that selection. In turn, he wasn’t able to make the team, but he has plenty of years left and plenty of All-Star selections in his future.
Despite the fact that Wembanyama wasn’t a part of the big game, he was heavily involved in All-Star Weekend. TNT had him on the broadcast, and he was also in the Skills Challenge, teamed up with fellow number-one picks Paolo Banchero and Anthony Edwards.
The Locked on Spurs podcast recently recapped NBA All-Star Weekend from a Spurs perspective.
Wembanyama dropped an F-bomb on the TNT broadcast, and his team got swallowed up in the Skills Challenge, so it wasn’t a perfect weekend for the rookie, but it will surely be one that he will always remember.
