Jeremy on heading back home rather than staying to root on Wemby in the skills challenge Saturday night:
“I want to have some vacation, some rest time,” he said.
Oh, and one other thing:
“Otto is at home on his own,” he said, referring to his German pointer. – 11:26 PM

Shame on Team Pau for losing.
We deserved Chet vs Wemby. – 10:53 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Wemby said the game was fun against “guys who are very promising,” but he said he has “mixed feelings” about the experience.
“I hate losing,” he said. – 10:51 PM

I don’t mean to alarm anybody, but Wemby got a dribbling tutorial today from Jamal Crawford and if he starts with that stuff it could be the end of modern civilization as we know it. – 7:52 PM

Victor Wembanyama is adhering to Pop’s patient, thorough approach to his development, but he remains in a hurry for greatness:
“I’ve been told never to skip steps my whole life, but it didn’t stop me from running up the stairs,” the rookie said. #Spurs

More from Wemby on not skipping steps even as he eyes #Spurs‘ future: “For now, I am just a student of this league. I don’t really know how everything works, but, of course, it is something I want to be highly involved in in the future.” – 12:20 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
I asked Wemby if he allows himself to look ahead to what the #Spurs can become once the rebuilding is done, even as he adheres to Pop’s mantra of not skipping steps:
“I have been told not to skip steps my whole life, but it didn’t stop me from running up the stairs.” – 12:15 PM

More on this storyline

Tom Orsborn: It’s been a long day for Victor Wembanyama, and he’s still got the skills challenge to complete tomorrow night. So is he tired? “I was tired before it even started. I can’t wait until it’s over because I need these couple of days of rest to get back to be good during the season.” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / February 16, 2024
Dustin Dopirak: Matas Buzelis with the game-winner for Team Detlef. So the G-Leaguers knock out Wemby, Smith, Wallace, Miller, Jaquez, Coulibaly and Podziemski. Genuine stunner. 41-36. -via Twitter @DustinDopirak / February 16, 2024
