Victor Wembanyama does between-the-legs dunk in warmups 3 days after rolling his ankle | NBA on ESPN

And hopefully uh a healthy Victor gives this team a better chance to get a double yeah I mean we were all severely disappointed that he didn’t get a chance of playing that game because it seemed to me there was a lot of talk about making him more concerted effort in

Getting him the basketball and so I hope that we haven’t forgotten about that and tonight you try to get it to him early and often and you use him as a pressure release and you know just like Zach Collins said before the start last game

Look at him in warm-up s Tom watch this I I think the ankles just fine f i mean he was jumping like two five Ines off the ground are you kidding me so yeah the ankle just fine I want to see some explosive dunk tonight I want to see

Some lobs Dan I I want to see our guys throwing the ball over the top to him that would be the tonic that I need and it would certainly be an extra Christmas [Applause] Present sir

Check out this warmup footage of Victor Wemanyama pulling off a windmill dunk and doing soccer moves ahead of the San Antonio Spurs’ matchup with the Utah Jazz, just 3 days after rolling his ankle before his game vs. the Dallas Mavericks.

  1. Kobe has a similar experience in his rookie year. What did Lakers do? Trade all the vets. Spurs need to trade Devin Hassell. Such a ball hog. Takes a shot with 3 defenders. Refused to pass Wemby for a post up.

  2. He shot 6/15 tonight, 1/4 3's though he only played 24 mins with 5 block shots. I hope he is healthy the next game.

  3. His teammates do need to pass him the ball but in a smart way you don't want it to be too predictable where guys can double team. The Spurs need better passing better rebounding better defensive players that's what they hang their hats on.wemby n devin should be the only untouchable assets if Devin can stay healthy. But I will say joel embied is right wemby needs to decide what he's gonna be what's his style of play. Because right now Spurs fans feel like he can do no wrong . But he has added to some of those turnovers playin loose. Sometimes it seems like he's playing like a guard sometimes he's playing like a big man and sometimes he shoots like a small forward. We get that he's a unicorn. But when you're taller than almost everybody out there. Even the bigger guys are going to have to foul you to stop u. You're faster than most of the big guys you can almost block everyone. As a rookie it's fine The growin pains but the record is the worst in the league. Its going to require a different kind of leadership on the defensive side of the ball and a way more efficient expectation on the offensive side of the ball. I mean anytime that this guy does a screen he could cut to the rim and it could be a alleyoop he could cut to the three-point line and it'd be a open three. We need more creative coaches n more determined defensive players. The offense should revolve around him just like it does with Steph Curry in golden state it's just going to look different with da tallest guy on the court.

  4. NBA really believed he rolled his ankle by stepping on ball boys foot.😂😂😂

    You know the spurs is tanking but the nba wont penalize them like they did to Dallas😂
