"Yeah, PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politically correct [answer],"
"Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like the murder of civilians is acceptable."
"I can't stop thinking about the tragic events unfolding in Minnesota, and even though I'm French, I can't remain silent,"
"What's happening is beyond comprehension. We're talking about murders here, these are serious matters. The situation must change, the government must stop operating this way. I stand with Minnesota."
Victor Wembanyama said he is horrified by the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis and rejected offering a politically correct response. He acknowledged reluctance because he is not a U.S. citizen and that team public relations advised against commenting, but he declined to remain silent. Investigations into both shootings are ongoing and no charges have been filed. The incidents prompted protests in freezing temperatures and heightened tensions across the city. Other players and the players' association have publicly called for change and accountability.
