Victor Wembanyama's highly anticipated debut at NBA Summer League was met with excitement from the sold-out crowd at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Despite the hype surrounding him, Wembanyama struggled in his first game, scoring only nine points on 2-for-13 shooting.

The 19-year-old rookie was outplayed by Brandon Miller, the second overall pick, who recorded 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Charlotte Hornets.

Wembanyama showcased his potential with eight rebounds and five blocked shots, but his performance fell short of expectations.

Conditioning was identified as an area for improvement by Wembanyama, who acknowledged feeling tired and exhausted during the game.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is expected to help Wembanyama develop and become a more composed player in the future.

Despite the forgettable start, fans remain optimistic about Wembanyama's potential to become a prominent figure in the league.

The French sensation's unique talent and skill set make him an intriguing prospect at 7-foot-4 with an 8-foot wingspan.

Wembanyama's debut garnered significant attention, with fans traveling from various locations to witness his first NBA game.

Although the pressure is on, Wembanyama will have more opportunities to showcase his abilities in upcoming Summer League games before the regular season begins.
