San Antonio Spurs withdraw Victor Wembanyama from NBA Summer League after two games

The San Antonio Spurs have decided that NBA's hot pick Victor Wembanyama won't take any further participation in the Summer League.

Wembanyama had contrasting first couple of games in the Spurs jersey, but his overall numbers from the two outings were impressive, averaging 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks while shooting at a 41 percent success rate.

During Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, he recorded an impressive stat line of 27 points and 12 rebounds, despite the team's loss.

In his debut game against the Charlotte Hornets and the No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller, Wembanyama struggled from the field, shooting just 2-for-13.

"I know I got to talk with Pop," Wembanyama said on Sunday about discussing playing more games with coach Gregg Popovich. "I'm going to listen to what he's going to say, but I'm ready to make any sacrifice for the team and give 100 percent."
