Victor Wembanyama live score, stats, highlights from Summer League debut in Spurs vs. Hornets at Las Vegas
On Friday, the Las Vegas Summer League features a battle between the top two picks of the 2023 NBA draft.
Victor Wembanyama is expected to make his Summer League debut for the Spurs after missing both games at the California Classic. The 19-year-old is one of the most talented youngsters in La Liga history so it’s not surprising that tickets for his first game have sold out.
Brandon Miller, picked as No. 2 by the Hornets, will try to steal the spotlight from Wembanyama. He struggled at the California Classic but has a chance to bounce back in Las Vegas.
Will Wembanyama or Miller emerge victorious from this exciting duel?
