Victor Wembanyama drew attention during the NBA Cup final buildup after being spotted doing sideline work with Bismack Biyombo.

In praising the Spurs' "ethical basketball," Wembanyama made a statement that said as much about his team's progress as any opponent.

Johnson said he plans to play the 7-foot-4 center in a manner similar to how he was employed in Saturday's win over the Thunder, meaning he likely will log 20-plus minutes.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs recently did something only one other team in the NBA has managed this season. They beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have been spectacular to start the 2025-26 campaign,

And that's perfectly fine. In fact, the NBA probably loves Wembanyama's one-sided bickering with Holmgren. And hopes the other party joins in sooner or later. After all, NBA fans love its theatrics almost as much as it loves the actual games being played.
