Victor Wembanyama got his first taste of real NBA action tonight in the Spurs' first preseason matchup against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions, and it was spectacular to watch. It wasn't perfect. The 2023 number one overall draft pick had six turnovers, but the good far outweighed the bad, and San Antonio went into halftime with a massive 74-45 lead.
Vic didn't play in the second half, which is normal for preseason games. None of the starters played after the halves turned. The Alien finished with nine points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. Had he played the entire game, he would have easily notched a triple-double.
