Spurs rookie gives 9 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks

The day many NBA fans have been waiting for arrived on Friday when heralded No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Victor Wembanyama played in his first NBA game during the opening night of the Las Vegas Summer League. Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs beat No. 2 Brandon Miller and the Charlotte Hornets 76-68 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Wembanyama tallied nine points, eight rebounds and five blocks in 27 minutes on Friday. He shot 2-of-13 from the field and 1-of-6 from 3-point range. He also had three assists.

The Spurs and Wembanyama play next Sunday against the Blazers and No. 3 overall Scoot Henderson, who suffered a shoulder injury in his Summer League debut on Friday. The extent of the damage is unknown. How much Wembanyama plays during the Summer League is still unclear, but fans will likely watch his every move in Las Vegas.
