Victor Wembanyama's Humble Reaction To Not Making NBA All-Star Game

Victor Wembanyama met with the media after Wednesday's game.

On Wednesday evening, the San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Miami Heat in Florida.  

The game was close through three quarters, but the Spurs lost by a score of 116-104. 

Victor Wembanyama had another good game and finished his night with 18 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block while shooting 7/13 from the field and 3/5 from the three-point range in 28 minutes of playing time.

After the game, a reporter asked Wembanyama about not being named to the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.

Reporter: "Were you upset or bothered to not be selected to the All-Star Game, or do you use it for motivation for next year?"

Wembanyama: "Of course, being selected as an All-Star would have been a great achievement, especially in my rookie year. But honestly, my focus is more on trying to win games and get better as a team than this. But of course, it's motivation."

Wembanyama is averaging 20.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.1 blocks per contest while shooting 46.4% from the field and 30.8% from the three-point range in 45 games. 

That said, the Spurs are in rebuilding mode and are the 15th seed in the Western Conference with a 10-41 record in their first 51 games. 

They are 3-7 over their last ten games and are in the middle of a five-game losing streak. 

Following the Heat, the Spurs will remain in Florida and visit Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic on Thursday evening.
