In 2019, Wembanyama chose to play for Nanterre 92 to start his professional career. After playing for some seasons, he went to team ASVEL and within one season of him, the team won the Pro A Championship title.

In the 2022-23 season, he moved to Metropolitans 92 and won several accolades including being the youngest player to receive the MVP award in the Pro A league. His impressive gameplay especially, on the defensive end throughout the season, made him win the Pro A Best Defender award. He also led the league in number of blocks and rebounds.
