Victor Wembanyama may have started a new thing when it comes to jersey swaps.
After San Antonio’s 96-87 win in Brooklyn over the Nets last Friday night, a young San Antonio Spurs fan wearing a youth-sized Wembanyama jersey held a sign that read, “Victor Wembanyama, will you swap jerseys with me?”
Wemby noticed it, so he gladly walked over and had the most adorable jersey swap.

Unfortunately, it appears that the father of that child was simply using him as a pawn for personal gain.
That father has already put that Victor Wembanyama online for sale and has the final price of it set at $10,000 as he awaits bids for it to come in.

Victor Wembanyama And The Spurs Are Finding Their Stride
The San Antonio Spurs will look to carry the momentum from their huge win over the Lakers and possibly deliver victory as they prepare to face the Grizzlies.
With Victor Wembanyama leading the team, the Spurs currently have a 19-19 record, good for ninth place in the Western Conference.
A win streak of a few games, while some other teams lose, could easily have the Spurs much higher in the standings.
