Victor Wembanyama will be looking for revenge in his second Summer League contest.
The No. 1 overall pick had an up-and-down debut for the Spurs, finishing with just nine points in his first taste of NBA action. He did impress with eight rebounds, five blocks and three assists, but shooting 2-for-13 from the field and 1-for-6 from 3 overshadowed most of the positives.
Wembanyama’s second game was supposed to be a highly anticipated showdown with No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson, but the G League Ignite product suffered a shoulder injury in his debut that will keep him sidelined for this battle.
There will still be no shortage of attention on the game, as fans are hungry to see what Wembanyama is truly capable of at the NBA level.

8:10 p.m.: It’s been another quiet start for Victor Wembanyama, who has only taken one shot attempt through the first four minutes of this contest. He is headed to the free throw line with San Antonio trailing 5-3.
