Victor Wembanyama has etched his name in San Antonio Spurs history, becoming the youngest player in franchise history to earn an NBA All-Star selection.
The 21-year-old French phenom was among 14 reserves announced for the February 16 All-Star Game in San Francisco.
Wembanyama, who claimed Rookie of the Year honors last season, is enjoying a stellar sophomore campaign, averaging 24.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.9 blocks, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
His standout performances have earned him a debut appearance alongside fellow Western Conference reserves, including Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis, and James Harden.
The Eastern Conference reserves feature Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard, and first-time All-Stars Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, and Tyler Herro.
This year’s All-Star Game will introduce a new format, with teams drafted by NBA legends Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith.
The tournament-style competition will add a fresh twist, with players vying for a $1.8 million prize pool.
