7 beautiful photos of Victor Wembanyama — and his wingspan — from his Spurs debut

Victor Wembanyama didn’t have the greatest of NBA debuts for the San Antonio Spurs, but that was maybe to be expected.

After all, the 19-year-old hopefully has a long career ahead of him in which he’ll learn the subtleties of the American professional game and continue developing what is already an awe-inspiring set of skills.

Despite getting into foul trouble, he did score 15 points and grabbed five rebounds to go along with two steals and a block. And his defense on Kyrie Irving (!!) near the end of the loss to the Dallas Mavericks was pretty good!

Check out the photos of Wemby and his ridiculous wingspan as captured on Wednesday night:
