It would become almost embarrassing… As he has just resumed training and is discovering his new Boulogne-Levallois team, Victor Wembanyama going on an American tour!
Considered the favorite to be chosen in first position for the 2023 Draft, the French pivot is turning all heads, and his club has just agreed to play two games in the suburbs of Las Vegas, in Henderson more precisely.
It will be October 4 and 6, during the NBA preseason, and the Mets will challenge the G-League Ignite, this formation essentially composed of high school students trained precisely for the 2023 Draft. Note that on October 6, the NBA will also be in Las Vegas with a meeting between the Lakers and the Suns.
The craziest thing about this story is that the Ile-de-France club, trained by Vincent Collet, will have already started its championship with three matches scheduled for September 23, 27 and 30. Then, direction Las Vegas to face this G-League Ignite where we find the phenomenon Scoot Henderson, the Canadian Leonard Miller but also the French Sidy Cissoko, all expected in the first round of the Draft 2023.
To avoid spoiling anything, and for the United States to see the phenomenon, the two matches will be broadcast on ESPN!
