Oscar Wembanyama is a highly touted prospect. He is following in his brother's footsteps in his journey to the NBA. He plays in the LDLC ASVEL U-21 league in France and stands at 6-foot-8. Like his brother, Oscar possesses immense athleticism and is full of potential.

In March, footage of Oscar playing in the U-21 French league emerged, where he showcased his no-look passes and strong drives to the basket.

The post from Overtime went viral, reaching over 900,000 views on X.

On the eve of his birthday, the Spurs took on the Denver Nuggets in the first leg of a back-to-back between the two teams. Victor Wembanyama dominated, leading San Antonio to a 113-110 road win.

The reigning Rookie of the Year went toe-to-toe with three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic, dropping a team-high 35 points on 14 of 21 shooting, including four 3-pointers, along with 18 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal.

On the other end, Jokic led all scorers with 41 points on 15 of 36 shooting, with 18 rebounds, nine assists and two steals.

It was the first of three meetings between San Antonio and Denver, as the two teams will meet again on Saturday. With the win on Friday, San Antonio improved to 18-16 and has won three of its last four games. Wembanyama will look to have a repeat performance on his birthday against Denver.
