Victor Wembanyama angry at the wrong spelling of his name on his jersey

He is not the first to whom this happens even if it remains a rare event in the NBA. Victor Wembanyama played the first half of the game against the Warriors wearing a jersey with his name misspelled.

It read “Wembanyana”. So obviously, and quite logically, the Frenchman did not appreciate it.

“I wasn’t paying attention, but it’s a shame,” he reacted after the meeting for theExpress News. “I don’t know if anyone’s going to get fired, but Spurs did their job registering my name. So I don’t know, but it’s a shame. »

However, this small incident and an eleventh defeat in a row did not affect the determination of the first choice of the 2023 Draft.

And meanwhile, the defeats keep coming

“Of course it’s complicated to lose every time, but it’s a daily struggle”says “Wemby”. “We try to adapt and it’s important not to have regrets. We do what we can but we will make mistakes and lose matches. But the main thing is not there, it is in what we do to change things. »

Victor Wembanyama is therefore not destabilized by these numerous setbacks and his team’s last place in the Western Conference. “I have confidence in this franchise. I believe in them, I believe in my coach. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t work. I know it’s going to work out one day or another.”he announces.
