Though the Spurs’ season is in the rearview mirror and Victor Wembanyama’s rookie campaign was cut short, fans have reason to smile again.
A recent video shared by Curtsied Buzz shows the 7’4” phenom playing soccer with kids in Costa Rica, and yes — he’s moving well.
While the NBA playoffs roll on and Evan Mobley was just crowned Defensive Player of the Year, Wembanyama isn’t sweating the spotlight. The poised Frenchman, who was in the DPOY conversation himself, is focused on one thing: getting better — and eventually, winning.
The sight of Wemby engaging in casual sports activity is especially encouraging after he was sidelined in March due to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his leg. Though the condition ended his season early, seeing him active and smiling is a promising sign that his recovery is going well.
As fans look toward next season, this glimpse of Wemby running around and enjoying life is a reminder of what’s ahead. The future in San Antonio is bright — and healthy.
