Spurs star Victor Wembanyama's frustration boiled over against the Clippers when he was shoved to the court by Ivica Zubac.

If there was any fear about Victor Wembanyama's adjustment to the NBA, it had to do with his frame. Wembanyama is one of the NBA's tallest players at 7-foot-3, but he is very skinny for his height and will almost certainly bulk up with more time in San Antonio's strength and conditioning program.

"It's very possible that he'll be the face of basketball. Not just NBA basketball, but world basketball," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

The story, as Buford tells it, goes like this: Claudio Crippa, an international scout for the Spurs, proposed going to see a youth game before checking out Doumbouya. Buford saw Wembanyama play for the first time that day. And the seeds for the Spurs’ new master plan were immediately planted.

I just want to underline that this week was amazing,” Spurs star Victor Wembanyama said after Saturday's game versus the Pacers.

Wemby's frustrations came to a head midway through the third quarter when he was sent flying to the court after being hip-checked by Zubac. In the previous play, Wemby blocked Zubac's attempted dunk but the latter thought he was fouled. This led to Zubac flailing his arms in frustration before running back on defense and shoving Wemby.

Victor Wembanyama was ready to become the world’s tallest kickboxer on Wednesday night.

San Antonio Spurs sophomore phenom Victor Wembanyama proved as much following Wednesday's 128-116 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, expressing his frustrations to reporters.
