Tom Orsborn: Wemby made the trip to Minneapolis after also attending Friday’s game in Sacramento. “I don’t know if he’s ever been out like this, so I know he’s going crazy from not playing,” Mitch Johnson said. “Just being in the locker room, being on the bench, being with his teammates means a lot to him.”

More on this storyline
Michael C. Wright: Victor Wembanyama is in Sacramento to support D’Aaron Fox in his return to face the Kings. Because of the type of medication Wembanyama is taking, Spurs docs deem it safe for him to fly. Now he won’t be on every road trip. But he’s definitely wanted to be here in Sac. -via Twitter @mikecwright / March 7, 2025
Castle on Wemby being with the team: “That’s just the kind of person he is. He’s not doing that for cameras or views or anything. That’s just how he is. He was at our practice the other day…We talk to him a lot, after most games…He’s still super connected with the team.” -via reddit / March 4, 2025
Video of the jersey swap between 5-year-old Frankie Desideri Jr. and Wembayama went viral earlier this year, with the San Antonio Spurs official X account calling it the “best swap ever.” The swap was later met with criticism when the jersey, which was viewed as a gift from Wembanyama to the young Desideri, was sent to auction. According to the request, the family originally consented to auctioning the jersey, but later made multiple requests to have the item withdrawn, to no avail. Desideri told cllct his son had regrets and didn’t want to auction it off anymore. -via Cllct / February 27, 2025
