Aside from having one of the best games of his career, Victor Wembanyama went out of his way to take care of an upset fan. Following his actions, the San Antonio Spurs rookie has received praise from NBA fans.
Earlier this year, a fan made a big post about missing Victor Wembanyama after he got injured slipping on a ball boy's foot. After seeing the post, he reached out to the fan through Twitter/X and got him tickets for another game.
The fan drove five hours to San Antonio from Dallas to see the Spurs take on the Milwaukee Bucks.

As the post quickly went viral, fans poured in to share their thoughts on the situation. They felt that it was a very nice gesture from Wembanyama following the freak accident that happened against the Dallas Mavericks earlier this year.
"Can't spell wemby without W. Happy for you dude," one tweeted.
Here are some of the top reactions on X:
Despite the Spurs having one of the NBA's worst records, Wembanyama has lived up to his hype. In 30 games, the No. 1 pick is averaging 19.2 points and 10.1 rebounds while leading the league in blocks (3.2).
Lucky fan gets to see dominant Victor Wembanyama performance vs Bucks
Aside from getting to have a heartfelt interaction with Victor Wembanyama, the lucky fan also got to witness one of his best performances of the year. The San Antonio Spurs found themselves in a nail-biter against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Led by a 44-point barrage from Giannis, the Bucks walked out with a 125-121 win, but Victor Wembanyama did everything he could to try and lead his team to victory.
In 27 minutes of action, Wemby finished with 27 points, nine rebounds and five blocks. The Rookie of the Year favorite impacted the game on both ends and delivered a handful of highlights.
Along with vicious poster dunks and self alley-oops, Wembanyama also shone on defense. He even stuffed Giannis at the rim as he tried to attack the seven-foot-four center.
Apart from the two physical forces going at each other, standouts from Thursday's matchup included Devin Vassell for the Spurs (34 points) and Damian Lillard for the Bucks (25 points, 10 assists).
Given his stats and the opponent, it was by far one of Wembanyama's best performances this season. This outing extends his streak of 20+ point games to four.
As he continues his stellar rookie season, Wembanyama's season high for points sits at 38, which came in just his fifth career game against the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs prospect posted his most blocks in a game (8) in November against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Despite these numbers, Wemby finds himself in an air-tight Rookie of the Year race with OKC Thunder big man Chet Holmgren.
