Ever since his NBA debut, Spurs newcomer Victor Wembanyama has undergone significant transformations, but he acknowledges that there’s still much left for him to discover.
The San Antonio Spurs have faced a series of tough losses in the 2023-24 season, with their latest defeat possibly being the worst yet. The Memphis Grizzlies, who were already without Ja Morant due to a suspension, were missing multiple players due to injuries. Despite this, they still managed to secure a 120-108 victory over the Spurs, who have now suffered eight consecutive defeats. The Spurs have attributed their struggles to their youthful and inexperienced roster, with Victor Wembanyama being a prime example. In an interview with ClutchPoints, Wembanyama discussed the team’s current losing streak, his growth throughout the season, and how teams are approaching him on the court.
ClutchPoints recently interviewed Victor Wembanyama, where he discussed the progress of his team’s comfort level with each other and their understanding of the game. He noted that there is a significant difference from the start of the season, but he didn’t have the vision to see it initially. When asked about the team’s mindset when losing leads, Wembanyama admitted that it could be challenging to regroup due to a subconscious feeling of “here we go again.” However, he emphasized the importance of bringing fresh energy to the court and doing the right things to turn things around. Finally, when asked about teams targeting him, Wembanyama stated that they are doing it less and less every game.
