Overview
- This week Wembanyama led an offseason minicamp at the Palais des Sports Maurice Thorez in Nanterre where seven Spurs players and free agent Kelly Olynyk were photographed working together.
- The confirmed attendees were De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Carter Bryant, Harrison Barnes, Jordan McLaughlin and Tobias Harris, with team social posts showing group drills and practice footage.
- Spurs CEO R.C. Buford praised Wembanyama’s leadership for inviting teammates to train in France and framed the effort as a player-driven push to build cohesion early.
- Work in France emphasized Wembanyama’s development of a fuller post game and shot creation — including a one-footed fadeaway — supplementing earlier offseason sessions with Hakeem Olajuwon and workouts in Texas.
- The minicamp follows San Antonio’s run to the 2026 NBA Finals and Wembanyama’s five-year rookie extension; the sessions give the core extra practice time before formal training camp and scheduled international preseason dates.
