Victor Wembanyama to miss World Cup
Victor Wembanyama won’t feature in the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, according to L’Equipe. According to the report, the 19-year-old said he made his decision himself after consulting his closest entourage, the medical staff, and several executives of the French national team. “The Spurs would have supported me whatever my choice had been,” Wembanyama told L’Equipe, eliminating any possible assumptions about potential pressure from his new team.
