NBA: Wembanyama, the unpleasant surprise

NBA: Wembanyama, the unpleasant surprise
NBA: Wembanyama, the unpleasant surprise

Victor Wembanyama, who had exchanged his jersey with a young fan during his visit to Brooklyn, discovered, to his great regret, that it had been auctioned for the tidy sum of $10,000…

Funny evening for Victor Wembanyama. If he signed a new double-double and could even have finished with a triple-double, the French giant of Spurs, who compiled 13 points, 12 rebounds and 8 blocks, was also clumsy (5/19 in the shots, 3/10 at 3 points) and could not prevent the defeat of the Texan franchise against the Grizzlies on Wednesday evening (115-129).

We still talked a lot about him, because he was dunked on twice, by Ja Morant, even if it didn’t count, and the rookie Zach Edey. But “Wemby”, who should participate in his first All-Star Game next month, is also making the “buzz” for a completely different reason, quite beyond his control.

The Olympic vice-champion, in a hurry to return to next week, discovered that his jersey, which he had exchanged with a young fan on December 28 in Brooklyn on the sidelines of a match against the Nets, had been at auction at the Goldin house, with a starting price of 10,000 dollars, or a little over 9,700 euros!

“Wembanyama, who quickly developed a reputation as a man of the people due to his positive interactions with fans, immediately removed this San Antonio Spurs City Edition jersey and exchanged it with the young fan. The two posed side by side next to each other for a photo, with a huge difference in size which gives an incredible image”, we can read in the auction description. A bad surprise for the Ile-de- resident, who reacted on X by posting a crying emoji. Suffice it to say that he now risks being wary before giving away his jersey…
