After a rough start in the first game of the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Victor Wembanyama bounced back last night for the San Antonio Spurs. It seems that it was enough.

According toTim Bontemps from ESPN, Wembanyama's Sunday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers was his last this offseason.

Wemby hit just two field goals in his first game but bounced back in the second, scoring 27 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and dishing out 3 blocks.

The French phenom will now have several months to prepare for his official debut in the NBA, a feat that he will take very seriously.

"As I'm not playing in the World Cup, I have 2-3 great months. They will change my life. I will probably disappear from the media for the next months, honestly," he said after last night's game.
