The rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama has impressed one and all with his superb frame, athletic ability, and game fluidity. The star won the praise of the living legend himself–LeBron James.

San Antonio Spurs faced Dallas Mavericks, and the latter crushed the former. Victor Wembanyama had a hard time before the game started during practice. He stepped on the foot of the ball boy, who was focused on the ball rather than Victor coming towards him. As both caught each other unaware, Victor limped, as he seemed to have twisted his ankle. But his natural humility was in action, as he was not hard on the ball boy. To add to this injury scare, Wemby was not included in the starting lineup.

The star was not in the starting lineup and did not play in the game either.
