After narrowly missing out on a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Victor Wembanyama returned to the familiar court in Paris. He recently played there in a game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers. The fans in the Accor Arena experienced several intense moments during the game, but they were particularly stunned by a courtside moment that occurred.
Wembanyama thrilled his fans in Paris with a dominating performance against the Pacers. He scored 30 points, provided six assists, and grabbed 11 rebounds in just 32 minutes of play. His efforts contributed to an impressive 140-110 victory over the Pacers. Additionally, Wemby was chatting with WNBA Los Angeles Sparks player Cameron Brink, who was sitting courtside to watch the game.
When the NBA on ESPN shared a photo of the two players on X (formerly Twitter), fans started making all sorts of jokes in the comment section. Since Brink is 6’4″ and Wembanyama stands at 7’3″, many fans joked about how tall their hypothetical son would be if they married. Other fans also made some cheeky remarks about the duo.
