Victor Wembanyama arrives for his San Antonio Spurs debut in NBA Summer League game with the Charlotte Hornets as he puts Britney Spears drama behind him
NBA No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama finally makes his debut for the San Antonio Spurs.
Basketball fans have been waiting for this moment for some time and the scrutiny on his first ever game has only been intensified by the row with Britney Spears in Las Vegas in the build-up.
New video footage emerged earlier today showing the moment the popstar was smacked by a security guard protecting the 7-foot-4 phenom.
Wembanyama addressed the Spears saga on Thursday night, 24 hours before he arrived at the Thomas & Mack Center as a Spurs player.
He had not played in in the first two games the team had participated in the NBA Summer League.

The top pick at this year’s NBA Draft has been getting acclimated to his new life in San Antonio.
He was greeted by fans at the airport the day after he was drafted and then was unveiled to the city at San Antonio’s famous River Walk.
Wembanyama has also been playing more recently than the college stars he was drafted with – as he took his former French team, Mets 92, to the LNB Pro A finals.
But he was expected to debut today in the game against the Charlotte Hornets, facing off against the draft’s second overall pick, Brandon Miller.
Fans turned out – some even wearing Mets 92 jerseys – with Front Office Sports reporting it was a sell-out with 17,500 tickets bought.
Rapper J. Cole was among the thousands who wanted to catch a glimpse of Wembanyama.
