In a showcase of promising young talent, Victor Wembanyama made his mark in his preseason debut on Monday, but he faced stiff competition from another emerging star playing in his first NBA exhibition game, Chet Holmgren.
Holmgren delivered a standout performance with 21 points and nine rebounds, guiding the Oklahoma City Thunder to a thrilling 122-121 victory over Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Not to be outdone, Wembanyama showcased his skills with 20 points and five rebounds.
As the first overall pick in this year's draft hailing from France, Wembanyama commented on Holmgren's performance, acknowledging, "I feel like he hurt us. ... I understand it's just preseason, but the matchups against OKC are certainly going to be intriguing."
Holmgren, the second overall pick from Gonzaga in the 2022 draft, emphasized, "I believe both Vic and I did a commendable job (Monday) by recognizing that it's not about the Chet versus Vic Show. We can save that for a charity game in the summer. This is about the Thunder versus Spurs. It's preseason, and we're focused on improving within our respective teams. While individual plays matter, our priority is team progress, and I'm confident that's what he aimed for on his end too."
