Victor Wembanyama’s first taste of NBA action stole the show — and even had the Warriors looking on more than usual before they took the floor.
LAS VEGAS — There wasn’t a seat open in Thomas & Mack Center lower bowl five hours before the Warriors opened their Vegas portion of Summer League against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Instead, it was French phenom Victor Wembanyama’s first taste of NBA action that stole the show — and even had the Warriors looking on more than usual before they took the floor. Wembanyama was about as graceful on the floor as a bull in a china shop in his first game, which was the most hyped Summer League debut since former top pick Zion Williamson in 2019. The San Antonio Spurs had run sets that gave the No. 1 pick plenty of open looks but he struggled to knock down shots and even missed his first five 3s before netting his sixth attempt from deep with 2:50 left in the fourth quarter.
