The season begins this week for Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs, who will face the Mavs in a nice Texas derby. Luka Doncic is unfortunately uncertain, but he gave his opinion on the French phenomenon. The latter will appreciate it.

It’s finally back for the NBA teams, with a victory for the Nuggets and the Suns in their respective matches this Tuesday evening. The Spurs and the Mavericks will face each other this Wednesday at 3:30 a.m. at home, for a rather special meeting for Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman makes his big debut after several months of waiting, even if the poster could take a hit with the possible absence of Luka Doncic.

A star ignites for Wembanyama!

Absent for almost the entire pre-season due to calf pain, the Slovenian is said to be doing better, but he remains listed as “unsure” against Spurs. The medical staff will probably make the decision shortly before the match, even if that did not prevent Luka from speaking to the media this Tuesday after training. Questioned on numerous subjects, he was invited to give his opinion on Wembanyama. And that’s very positive.

Luka Doncic on Wembanyama: “Everyone knows Wemby, right? It’s pretty crazy what he does on the floor. He’s 2m24 tall, what he does despite his size is hardly believable. The way he moves, the way he handles the ball, shoots, and obviously his counterattacks. I’m going to watch him play and he’s an incredible player. »

Doncic even admitted that he did not have the same hype when he arrived in the NBA, despite an imposing CV after winning everything with Real Madrid. His words in any case please Wembanyama, whose pressure has never been so enormous.

Already adored by Paul George on Tuesday, Wemby has won the support of many stars across the league. This is relatively impressive for a player of just 19 years old, who will be able to count on the advice of a lot of people. Doncic also had something to say on the subject:

“I don’t think I was close to having the same hype as him. My advice ? Just have fun with the game. Obviously there will be a lot of pressure. He’s probably one of the best, if not the best, prospects to come into the NBA, but he’s shown he can play the game so I don’t think he should be worried about anything. »

Very praising words from Luka Doncic for Victor Wembanyama, who will perhaps face each other this Wednesday evening. The first duel in a long series, we hope, between two talented prospects from Europe. The two have a lot in common.
