San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama saw his 2024-25 NBA season end prematurely due to a blood clot in his right shoulder. He ended up playing just 46 games and averaging 24.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.8 blocks per game.
Wembanyama was on track to win Defensive Player of the Year but became ineligible due to his failure to meet the 65-game requirement.

Furthermore, the Spurs ended up missing the playoffs, with the Spurs struggling more in the second half of the season in the absence of Wemby. The team finished with a 34-48 record, 13th in the Western Conference.
Now, as Wembanyama recovers from his injury, he’s also making sure to enjoy his offseason.
On Monday, the 21-year-old center was spotted attending the Dallas Wings’ game against the Seattle Storm at the College Park Center in Texas.
The game featured two prominent French players: Storm rookie Dominique Malonga and guard Gabby Williams. After the game, the NBA All-Star shared a moment with the two, greeting and chatting with them.
When the WNBA shared a video of their interactions, though, fans couldn’t help but notice Victor Wembanyama’s height.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year is officially listed as 7-foot-3 on the NBA website. Dominique Malonga stands at 6-foot-6, while Gabby Williams is 5-foot-11.
“Wemby is tall as [expletive],” a commenter wrote. Another one said, “Wemby is a [expletive] alien.”
A fan observed about Williams as she stood alongside Wembanyama, “lol, Gabby looks so small.”
“Wemby is just too tall, God,” a social media user remarked.
“Wemby is not a real human being,” a follower shared.
A sixth supporter noted on Instagram, “I thought Dom was tall bruh, Wemby made her look like a middle school.”

Wembanyama has always drawn attention for his height, and it certainly won’t be the last time fans talk about his physical gift, especially as he establishes his career in the NBA.
