When the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, he was viewed as a generation prospect. So far, he has lived up to the hype.
Wembanyama was named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year last season after averaging 21.4 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. Unsurprisingly, he’s been even better this year for the Spurs, averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per contest. The French phenom’s production earned him a spot in the All-Star Game.
Although there’s only one player in the NBA right now that possesses Wembanyama’s unique size and skillset, he’s not the only member of his family who can light up the hardwood.
Victor’s older sister, Eve, has competed professionally in the EuroLeague. She also represented France in the FIBA 3×3 World Cup.
Eve was at the 2023 NBA Draft to show support for her younger brother. Basketball fans couldn’t get over her stunning black outfit.
“That’s amazing. We are all so proud,” Eve told Victor after the Spurs drafted him. “We are very happy for you, we are happy for the family, for the friends, for everything, for the basketball — that’s so amazing.”
Eve’s following on social media blew up following the 2023 NBA Draft. An older photo of her lounging in a yellow bikini gained serious traction because of her uptick in popularity.
Unfortunately for Eve, she won’t get to watch her brother play again until next season. On Thursday, the Spurs announced that Wemby has deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
“The San Antonio Spurs announced that Victor Wembanyama has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder,” the team said in a statement. “The condition was discovered when Wembanyama returned to San Antonio following the All-Star Game in San Francisco. Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season. The team will provide updates as appropriate.”
We’d have to imagine Wembanyama has all of his family members by his side as he begins his recovery process.
