The San Antonio Spurs have left the California Classic Summer League behind and moved onto the Las Vegas Summer League. Their first game in Sin City was maybe the most anticipated in Summer League history with the debut of highly touted rookie Victor Wembanyama. They faced the Charlotte Hornets, who have their own talented rookie in Brandon Miller.
While everyone was focused on Wembanyama, former Notre Dame guard [autotag]Blake Wesley[/autotag] was the one filling highlight reels. First, he hit this 3-pointer from up top:

Later in the first half, he threw down a dunk with authority similarly to how he did earlier in the week in Sacramento:

In fact, Wesley outscored the latest person to get caught up in Britney Spears’ life of drama, 13-9. He also tied him with eight rebounds and picked up a couple of steals in the Spurs’ 76-68 victory. Of course, the important thing is the two of them working together to launch the next winning era in the Alamo City.
