One day before the NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama continues the interviews. Among the questions that often come up are those regarding his availability for competitions this summer, both with his future Spurs franchise and with the French team.
The summer will not be easy if we are to believe the words of Wemby at the pre-Draft press briefing on Wednesday.
While rumors recently suggested that Victor will not play the Summer League with the Spurs this summer, the French phenomenon assured the opposite, and we might therefore see him from July 3 in Sacramento for the California Classic, where the San Antonio team will be among the participants. The Spurs, like all other NBA teams, will then be in Las Vegas for the big annual Summer League, scheduled for July 7-17 in the city of sin. Another opportunity to observe Wemby in its new colours.
Victor Wembanyama therefore confirms that he will participate in the Summer League 2023.

Inevitably, as a Frenchman, one wonders if this will have an influence on his participation in the next World Cup with the Blues. Because yes, there is also a World Cup to play this summer, from August 25 to September 10. But then once more, Wemby wants to be there.
“There is time between the Summer League and the World Cup. I always planned to participate in the World Cup. I’m just waiting to come to terms with my franchise.”
– Victor Wembanyama
Obviously, on the side of the Spurs, we do not want to see Victor Wembanyama burn out before even playing the slightest minute in the regular season, he who – we remind you – ended his season with the Mets only last week. The San Antonio franchise is going to want to take care of its generational phenomenon as much as possible, and we imagine that he will have limited playing time if he does indeed participate in the Summer League. Regarding the French team, we obviously cross our fingers so that Wemby can defend the colors of the Blues in two months.
