This has happened too many times by many players. Sheesh, man, hopefully, he's okay and gets well soon; I'm tired of his teammates not passing him the ball! If I were him, I would find the courage and be the team leader, make them pass you the ball, stop going for those fancy shots, get to the basket, and be humble.
Jeremy Sochan paid the ball boy so he doesn't have to worry about passing the ball to him
Those banana feet didn’t help
Victor finding new ways to get away from his teammates.
Made out of glass
0:22 Why should the trainer lose his job! 🤬 he steps on the employee and didn’t even looked like he apologized instead he was talking 💩. The fact that y’all supported this is disgusting 🤮
Anyone else walks away from that no problem ,this walking stick so fragile
Wemby must have those Jalen Duren ankles— made of flimsy, wet paper
WEMB is D-U-M-B!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man these NBA players today is cotton soft this s*** is pathetic
So the injuries begin…
Not the trainer's fault, he was standing there the whole time. Victor should have more awareness and not assume people are going to move out of his way randomly.
What’s not pointed out at all is how little Victor reacted to that. Sure the spurs sat him but he was waking like nothing happened! Not saying that he’s gonna play as long as Steph or Lebron has but it’s definitely a sign that he takes care of his lower body. Anyone else is on the ground or at least limping. Not Victor
Let hope he get fired before Christmas why you that close law suit
The next different version of Yao Ming…I hope I'm wrong and he gets more muscle mass
Let's fire the guy who did nothing wrong against the guy who's already overhyped. That's a millionaire because of nothing. He never stepped on his foot. He's just a scrawny tall man who's going to have an injury filled career.
fragile as suspected and he sucks. well overrated, hahaha you Wemby nut suckers and loser Spurs Fans
That looked scripted
how on the earth those ballboys standing that close to the court?
Soft
tanking at its finest.
Dont matter his teammates wont pass the ball to him anyways
Victor wembemyama is the worst nba player so far this year, the worst nba player in history and also the worst basketball player in general in history, very overrated. Nikola Jokic is by far the best nba player in history and in basketball history in general.
seriously tho, 1) athletes should try to be more aware of others especially in a game that requires a lot of deliberate foot placement, 2) if you see an athlete coming your way like that, at least try to move out of the way and not act like something an athlete can hold on to.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA bro is more fragile than my grandmas cookie
NBA trying to see how much they can get away with before everyone realizes it’s only a scripted Tv show.
The trainer is just like Wembys teammates. Dont have no court vision or awareness for a 7"4 guy. Feel for the fans.
I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again… he has to put on some weight/ bulk up and wear high tops for ankle supporting shoes! He’s too tall and too thin for that type of constant action on his ankle and his body type is not made to naturally move on quick action against gravity! We’ve seen KD have the same problem! Chet was limping a few games ago as well! Make my word, his ankles and knees will be an issue in the future!
Glass player ! 🤣
And so it begins,
Wemby destined to be injured. Dude needs to play through these games instead of being held back.
Mavs staff: Mission accomplished 😂😂
It's precautionary
Ball boy did the Zaza on Wemby 😂
Wemby was fine.. he was walking fine i didnt see any reason for him not to play..i think pop saw a window and took it for wemby to sit out.. this guy wants to play and pop is holding him back
