Victor Wembanyama’s 2024-25 NBA season has been notably underwhelming compared to his previous year. On February 20, the Spurs made the difficult decision to sideline him for the remainder of the season following the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Without Wembanyama’s presence, the Spurs faced considerable challenges. They ultimately finished the regular season in a disappointing 13th place in the Western Conference with a 34-48 record. Before this setback, Wembanyama delivered impressive numbers, averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He also led the league with an outstanding 3.8 blocks over 46 games.
Despite the abrupt end to both his and the Spurs’ season, Wembanyama continued to connect with fans off the court. Recently, he was spotted strolling through a park in San Antonio with his family. During this outing, he took the time to play a game of H.O.R.S.E. with a young fan named Miller.
They snapped a selfie together, and Miller excitedly recounted how Wembanyama clinched victory with a left-handed three-pointer instead of opting for a dunk. It was an incredible and heartwarming moment that Miller will surely treasure for a lifetime.
