Sacramento, Las Vegas or… nowhere? Where can we see Victor Wembanyama play this summer? The Spurs gave the answer by unveiling their roster for the summer leagues, and the 1st pick of the 2023 Draft will be lined up in Las Vegas, not Sacramento.
According to San Antonio Express News, Wembanyama will not accompany the team in Sacramento, and he will therefore join the group in Las Vegas, whose first game is scheduled for July 7 against the Hornets of Brandon Miller, the 2nd choice of the Draft. It is not certain that the French pivot will play this first match since the Spurs have planned a lighter program for him. “We are still discussing what he could do” explained Gregg Popovich during the official presentation of “Wemby”. ” He will participate in the summer league. We do not yet know to what extent. »
What we do know is that the Spurs are training this week in preparation for the summer league in Sacramento, scheduled for July 3-5. San Antonio did not specify whether Wembanyama will participate, then the workforce will join Las Vegas, whose summer league runs from July 7 to 17. If the French only joins his teammates in Las Vegas, it is not certain that he will be dressed for the first match, scheduled for the 7th, since he will have, at most, one or two sessions with his teammates.
