Victor wasn’t the only Wembanyama crowd-pleaser at Frost Bank Center.
SAN Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama made his NBA debut on Wednesday with his family watching from the stands.
Victor’s sister, Eve, looked sensational as the camera panned to her and their father, Felix, throughout the game.

Eve, 21, a professional basketball player in France, initially went viral supporting her little brother during the NBA Draft in June.
On Wednesday, she was in the crowd with the Spurs faithful cheering on the French phenom.
During the fourth quarter, when Wembanyama went up for a stellar dunk to give the Spurs a 113-112 lead, Eve and the crowd jumped out of their seats to cheer on the star.
Dressed in a black cowboy hat, Eve stood, clapped, and erupted for her brother.
Fans of the NBA on X, formerly known as Twitter, called her outfit topped off with the hat “perfect.”
“Father Felix loves it and so does this San Antonio crowd,” play-by-play announcer Ryan Ruocco said on the broadcast as the proud dad was captured smiling in the stands.
The crowd got even louder after Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber was whistled for a foul, sending Wembanyama to the line.
The 19-year-old finished his NBA debut against Dallas with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, but struggled with foul trouble.
Wembanyama was limited to just 23 minutes, racking up five fouls.
At times, Wembanyama looked lost on defense, committing sloppy and silly fouls, but it’s hard not to marvel at what he can do on the floor.
It’ll take some time for Victor to adjust to the NBA, but there’s no doubt his skill is unparalleled.
Wemby’s next chance to hit the floor will be against the Spurs’ interstate rivals, the Houston Rockets.
