Description

Victor Wembanyama (/ˌwɛmbɑːnˈjɑːmɑː/ WEM-bahn-YAH-mah; French: ; born 4 January 2004), nicknamed "Wemby", is a French professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Considered one of the best basketball prospects in a generation, he was selected first overall by the Spurs in the 2023 NBA draft. With a listed height of 7 feet 4 inches (2.24 metres), Wembanyama is tied with Boban Marjanović as the tallest active NBA player.

Wembanyama began his professional career with Nanterre 92 of the LNB Pro A in 2019. Two years later, he moved to ASVEL and won the Pro A title in his only season with the team. In the 2022–23 season, Wembanyama signed with Metropolitans 92 and became the youngest player to win the Pro A MVP award, while earning Pro A Best Defender honors and leading the league in scoring, rebounds and blocks. He was unanimously named an LNB All-Star twice, winning the All-Star Game MVP once, and was a three-time Pro A Best Young Player.

Wembanyama also plays for the French national team. At the youth level, he led his team to two silver medals, including at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup, where he set the FIBA record for blocks per game in a single tournament.

Following a historic rookie season in the NBA, Wembanyama was unanimously named the 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year.
