It's starting to become a tradition for him. For his second NBA game in as many seasons played on Halloween, Victor Wembanyama arrived in disguise before the meeting between his San Antonio Spurs franchise and the Utah Jazz on the night of Thursday to Friday. The impressive French basketball player, Olympic vice-champion this summer with the Blues at the Paris Olympics, arrived in the Salt Lake City hall hidden from head to toe under his costume.
After Slenderman, a horror film character last year, “Wemby” this time hid himself in the clothes of the Faceless One. The latter appears in the Japanese animated film “Spirited Away”, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and released in 2001. This mysterious being crosses paths with Chihiro, a little girl who tries to find the world of humans and her parents, transformed as pigs, in the feature film.
As in 2023, Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio won on Halloween night, with a victory (106-88) away. Transparent two days ago with only six points scored in the loss against Oklahoma City, the former Nanterre and Metropolitans player signed a historic performance with (25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 interceptions and 5 blocks. A very rare 5×5, which is five or more in five different stat categories.
But despite this success against the bottom of the Western Conference, San Antonio remains at the bottom of the ranking, with two victories in five matches. Victor Wembanyama declared at the start of the season that he wanted to play in the play-offs this season, after a first year far from the best teams in the NBA.
