Nearly three weeks after exchanging his jersey with a child after an NBA match between the Nets and the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama had the unpleasant surprise of seeing that the donated tunic had been put up for auction.
The beautiful story takes a hit. Traveling on December 27 in Brooklyn, Victor Wembanyama exchanged his jersey with that of a child at the end of the match, immortalizing the moment in front of the photographers. This Wednesday, the Frenchman realized that the tunic was for sale on an auction site.
Starting price: 10,000 euros
The starting price for this Victor Wembanyama jersey is 10,000 euros. On his X account (formerly Twitter), the Frenchman reacted to this information with a “crying” emoji. During the match against the Nets, the Spurs won (96-87) and “Wemby” scored 19 points.
During the game, the child was in the first row of the Barclays Center, the Nets’ home, with a sign: “Victor Wembanyama, will you exchange jerseys with me?” Helped by his father, he had the pleasant surprise of seeing Victor Wembanyama heading towards him to make the exchange.
Wednesday night, the Spurs will challenge the Memphis Grizzlies and they will meet them again Friday night. Ninth in the Western Conference, San Antonio remains on a great victory against the Lakers, where Victor Wembanyama scored 23 points.
