Spurs Cut Short Wembanyama’s Summer League Run, Focus on Rest and Training for October Camp
Victor Wembanyama’s debut summer league comes to an end as Spurs opt to rest him for the remaining Las Vegas games.
The Spurs recognize the need for rest and reset as Wembanyama prepares for training camp and a demanding 82-game regular season in October.
Reflecting on the past month, Wembanyama shares that basketball has taken up less than 50% of his schedule, expressing his eagerness to focus solely on the game. Despite acknowledging the uniqueness of this moment in his life, he is relieved that the whirlwind experience is over and looks forward to dedicating himself to playing, training, and lifting weights—activities that define his life. He looks forward to the challenges that come with being the first pick and believes it will contribute to his growth in the future.
The Las Vegas experience for the Spurs has been nothing short of intense. Wembanyama’s debut garnered a circus-like atmosphere with a sold-out crowd and immense attention, while the subsequent game on sunday, though not as grand, still drew a substantial audience.
As expected, Wembanyama is excited to be with Coach Pop and the Spurs, recognizing it as the start of something great. He is eager to get things rolling and kickstart the journey ahead.
