Victor Wembanyama didn't appreciate a shove from Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac as the two sprinted toward the hoop Wednesday night. The San Antonio Spurs' Harrison Barnes knocked down a three-pointer as Zubac sent Wembanyama flying into his own bench as the shot went through the net.
Zubac yelled at the officials earlier in the third quarter for not calling a foul on Harrison Barnes after the Spurs forward blocked his layup. The frustration boiled over when Wembanyama blocked Zubac's attempted dunk with 4:49 remaining in the third quarter and no foul was called.
If there was any fear about Victor Wembanyama's adjustment to the NBA, it had to do with his frame. Wembanyama is one of the NBA's tallest players at 7-foot-3, but he is very skinny for his height and will almost certainly bulk up with more time in San Antonio's strength and conditioning program.
The San Antonio Spurs superstar rookie Victor Wembanyama recently got into heated scuffle with the LA Clippers Ivica Zubac.
"It's very possible that he'll be the face of basketball. Not just NBA basketball, but world basketball," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.
The clock is ticking on Sacramento. Would Houston or Orlando make a play for the point guard? Or will the Spurs form a dynamic duo?
Wemby went 1-for-4 in the second quarter as the Clippers ramped up their intensity on defense against him. Devin Vasell took over for Wembanyama and delivered nine points and one assist in the period. San Antonio surrendered the lead to trail 67-60 at halftime.
Victor Wembanyama is already a unicorn, but seeing an angry version of him is an even rarer sight. Emotions ran high on Wednesday during the San Antonio Spurs’ matchup against the LA Clippers when Ivica Zubac bulldozed him on a rebound attempt.
