Victor Wembanyama Flexes Avoiding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Mistake After Historic Night vs Pistons

Wemby dominated a Cade Cunningham-less Pistons team throughout the game. He finished with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in only 21 minutes of play.

After his historic night, Victor Wembanyama made sure he did not commit the same mistake as Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Victor Wembanyama secures memorabilia after historic performance

Victor Wembanyama shared a picture of him holding the game ball from the Pistons vs. Spurs game on his Instagram story. The 20-year-old rookie captioned the picture, “#secured”. That was a subtle flex by Wembanyama on 2-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks superstar went viral last month for hilariously running to the Pacers locker room to retrieve the game ball after his historic 64-point performance. Giannis was enraged at Tyrese Haliburton and Co. for taking the game ball after losing to the Bucks. That shocking moment put a stain on Giannis’ career-high scoring night. The 2-time MVP eventually got his hands on the game ball. Wembanyama made sure to avoid the mistake The Greek Freak made as soon as the game ended. It was a historic night for the 20-year-old rookie, and he wanted to savor it without any drama.

The Detroit Pistons’ struggles continue

It looks like the Detroit Pistons have forgotten how to win. They finished 2023 by snapping their historic 28-game losing streak. Their superstar, Cade Cunningham, claimed after their win that he did not want to go back to losing. But the Pistons have not won a single game since that win. They are yet to win a game in 2024. Victor Wembanyama and Co. handed the Pistons their 6th straight loss tonight. The Pistons did not have much chance to win anyway as they were missing their best player, Cade Cunningham. The 22-year-old guard has been out for the last two games due to a left knee strain. He injured his knee during the game against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

Cunningham is expected to miss action for some more days as he is still recovering from his injury. That is a massive blow for the Pistons, as Cade has been the only positive highlight in their abysmal season. He has been a star for the Pistons amid their struggles, averaging 22.8 points and 7.2 assists. With Cade out of the line-up and the way the rest of the team is playing, the Pistons might be heading towards a new record-breaking losing streak.
