Victor Wembanyama picked up his first-ever technical foul by bouncing the basketball too hard

Somehow, Victor Wembanyama got his first-ever tech for bouncing a ball too hard.

San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama had to learn the hard way on Tuesday night that with great wingspan comes great bounce…ability.

While playing in the first night of the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament, Wembanyama accidentally bounced the basketball too hard during a stoppage in play and picked up his first-ever technical foul.

Yes, seriously, Wembanyama got his first tech over accidentally bouncing the ball too hard. You could see that he was surprised how high the ball went into the air after he made a defensive block and just dribbled it hard once the play was over.

The ref here really did not need to give Wembanyama a tech for accidentally bouncing a ball too hard. What are we even doing here, people?

Wembanyama will probably measure his bounces a bit more after this very strange moment, one that we’re not sure will ever really make sense as being the Spurs rookie’s first-ever technical foul.
