Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has the NBA playoffs in mind. It’ll be a tall order
Victor Wembanyama is back in action after recovering from deep vein thrombosis. He starts his third season with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Wembanyama, who was the top pick in 2023, aims for a playoff spot in the loaded Western Conference. He wants the Spurs to secure at least the sixth seed to avoid the play-in tournament. Last season, he was a frontrunner for defensive player of the year before his health issue. Now, he’s added bulk and continues to impress with his skills. His height remains a topic of fascination, but he finds it amusing.
