Overview
- Head coach Mitch Johnson told SiriusXM that Victor Wembanyama should be in the MVP conversation because of his game-by-game impact.
- Wembanyama said he “definitely” sees himself becoming the next face of the NBA, telling Chris Haynes, “Supply and demand. I’m here to supply.”
- San Antonio sits second in the Western Conference at 38-16 with Wembanyama averaging 24.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and about 2.6 blocks per game.
- League chatter still points to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the MVP frontrunner, even as Spurs voices elevate Wembanyama’s candidacy.
- At 7-foot-4 with guard-like skills, Wembanyama’s rare two-way profile underpins both his on-court value and growing marquee appeal.
