Victor Wembanyama on Summer League Schedule: 'Ready to Make Any Sacrifice for' Spurs

When it comes to his Summer League workload, Victor Wembanyama is going to rely on the experience of the San Antonio Spurs organization to make any decisions.

"I need to talk with Pop (Spurs coach Gregg Popovich), and I'm going to listen to whatever he says. I'm ready to make any sacrifice for the team and give 100 percent," Wembanyama said Sunday, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

Wembanyama scored a team-high 27 points and added 12 rebounds in his second Summer League game, erasing any sour taste from his nine-point debut.

"It's summer league and he's got a big future coming, season coming, all of that stuff, but I don't think there's any doubt there's a lot of attention, and I'd be lying if I said he probably didn't feel some of that," Spurs summer coach Matt Nielsen said. "I think he showed the talent that he is, and the resilience and he just stepped up and wanted to be better in the areas that we spoke about."

The Spurs' next Summer League game comes Tuesday night, and there is no guarantee he will be in action. San Antonio will almost certainly shut the No. 1 overall pick down well before festivities are over in Las Vegas, as is the case for most high-profile player who make the trip.

Wembanyama's brief stint in Summer League is, as all parties know, ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme. His performance won't have an impact on his development as a player, and these games will be lost into the ether once the regular season begins.

That said, given the considerable hype surrounding Wembanyama, it was only fair to give NBA fans a little taste of what's to come.
