Victor Wembanyama has been consistently praised for his calmness and composure while being the most hyped NBA rookie since LeBron James.
Not this time.
Victor Wembanyama is already getting fed up with losing nightly in the NBA
The San Antonio Spurs phenom was filmed letting off some serious steam as a tough 117-115 road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers dropped Wemby’s team to 5-30 this season.
As Wembanyama walked into a tunnel that headed toward San Antonio’s locker room, the 20-year-old French native loudly screamed in frustration.
Wemby once again put up impressive numbers, scoring 24 points while grabbing 10 rebounds, blocking five shots and dishing out three assists.
“I’m excited for Wemby because he’s talented, takes people off the dribble, is an excellent shot blocker, posts up,” Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen said. “He has it all. And you don’t realize how big his wingspan is until you go against him.”
But San Antonio watched a 14-point lead disappear and the Spurs lost their fifth consecutive game.
It gets even worse when you go back to November for Wembanyama’s team.
After starting 3-2, the Spurs have only won two of their last 30 games.
Wemby is also on a minutes restriction as a rebuilding San Antonio team priorities his long-term health.
Losing nightly will continue to be an adjustment for the French native.
Wembanyama has more than delivered on the hardwood, averaging a double-double (19.3 points, 10.1 rebounds) while impressing everyone from LeBron James and Kevin Durant to Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
But San Antonio has only won two games since November 4 and the Spurs finished three points away from a much-needed win against the Cavaliers.
Wembanyama will have to adjust to the Spurs stacking up losses as he progresses.
His patience will also be tested game after game until San Antonio surrounds him with a winning roster.
Victor Wembanyama was EXTREMELY frustrated after the Spurs’ 117-115 loss to the Cavs 😳
