victor Wembanyama’s meteoric rise continues! Just a year after taking the league by storm and earning Rookie of the Year honors, “Wemby” has cemented his place among the NBA’s elite, earning his first All-Star selection. This prestigious nod marks a significant milestone in his burgeoning career and continues a storied tradition for the San Antonio Spurs franchise.
Wembanyama becomes the first Spur to represent the team in the All-Star Game since Dejounte Murray in 2022. This selection keeps the Spurs’ All-Star streak alive, a testament to the franchise’s consistent excellence. Since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976, the Spurs have boasted at least one All-Star in 42 of the 48 games, tying them with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most in the league during that span. Wembanyama now proudly carries that torch.
