Victor Wembanyama does not just dominate the parquet floors. In full convalescence after venous thrombosis on the right shoulder occurred in February, the interior of the San Antonio Spurs offers an unexpected sports parenthesis at the foot. Passing through Tokyo, the French of 2m24 was filmed in the middle of amateur football, revealing another facet of his talent.
On a shared video on its social networks, we see the n ° 1 of the Draft 2023 riding for a free kick, Cristiano Ronaldo way, before placing the ball under the transverse bar. A perfectly rolled strike from the right foot which has raised the crowd, proof of technical ease which goes beyond the framework of basketball.
This is not a first: already in April, Wembanyama had been seen in Costa Rica, a ball with children, showing that he has lost nothing of his technicality despite his injury. One way for him to remain active while continuing his rehabilitation.
The Eurobasket will miss
On the sporting level, his injury contracted in February put an end to his NBA season. While the French Basketball Federation recently unveiled its list of pre-selected for Eurobasket (August 27-September 14), the absence of Wembanyama was confirmed there.
No official return date has yet been announced, but these appearances on the soccer fields bear witness to a certain well-being found. And if “Wemby” will be absent from the prosecution this summer, he should be ready to find the NBA in mid-October. In the meantime, crampons or sneakers, the hype does not fall.
