Victor Wembanyama was indeed on a basketball court this Wednesday for the Spurs. A little clumsiness and testing for the Frenchman, who has already terrorized the web with a crazy action. He is well and truly back.

Saved for the first preseason game with the Spurs, just like Chris Paul, Victor Wembanyama was on the field to face the Magic this Wednesday evening. The opportunity to see him again after the Olympic Games and before a potentially historic season. We know that the objective is simple in San Antonio today: it’s the playoffs or nothing.

The Frenchman will obviously have his importance, while his duo with CP3 will be scrutinized by observers. For the moment, Wemby has been content to step up against Orlando, with 11 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in 23 minutes for San Antonio . We will note a small 4/15 in shooting, including 0/5 on three-pointers, but the former Mets has tested a lot.

Victor Wembanyama already shocks the web

Considering this is his first game in weeks, that percentage isn’t surprising. It’s clear that Wemby hasn’t been putting too much emphasis on his shooting, as he’s been focused on defense or getting along with his teammates. But it didn’t take him long to pull off a wild play that’s reminiscent of his previous NBA campaign .

There’s not much to do to defend such a player. The defender may be too quick to feint, but we know that Wembanyama can punish from long range. On X, the fans are both surprised and happy to see the Frenchman back.

@SixthManJake : “But seriously how do you want to defend that??”

@SonicsMuse : “He’ll be MVP by his third NBA season. Keep that in mind.”

@tronnniel : “It’s over for the rest of the league”

@BelieverMindset : “An MVP season in the making”

Despite a bit of clumsiness, Victor Wembanyama has resumed his good habits with the Spurs. Between that and his obvious understanding with Chris Paul, we will clearly have to be wary of San Antonio during this new season.
