Victor Wembanyama returned to Paris for two basketball games, scoring 50 points and grabbing 23 rebounds across the matches, though the Spurs lost both. Despite the disappointing results, Wembanyama cherished quality moments with family, a fashion appearance, and weekend events like attending a Champions League match. His reflections highlighted the passion of French fans singing along to the national anthem during events, and he expressed gratitude for the support he received. Spurs guard Chris Paul noted the responsibility Wembanyama felt returning home, underlining the unique demands of playing in his native country.
This week was amazing. I was just seeing my family. I'm not trying to get emotional, but everybody did their job to making this week incredible.
I appreciate the effort, Wembanyama said, noting the fans' singing of the national anthem had improved since his Olympic observations.
I can't imagine what it was like for Vic to come back home and play. I know he was so excited. But it's a lot of responsibility that comes with that.
Even though the outcome wasn’t what he wanted, there were a slew of other moments to make this trip back to Paris worth remembering.
