Victor Wimpanyama’s Summer League basketball debut in Las Vegas on Friday night wasn’t filling the stat sheet or lighting the highlight reels. The 2023 NBA No. 1 pick quietly tallied nine points, eight rebounds, five blocks and three assists in 27 minutes in the San Antonio Spurs’ 76-68 win over the Charlotte Hornets at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Shoot 2-of-13 from the field and 1-of-6 from 3-point range.
Wimpanyama has a chance to make another impression in the NBA world when the Spurs play their second game of the Summer League on Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2) against the Portland Trail Blazers. 3 overall, Scott Henderson will reportedly miss the game after suffering a shoulder injury in his first game on Friday against the Houston Rockets.
