Wembanyama's Debut Jersey Fetches $762K at Auction

The San Antonio Spurs rookie's game-worn jersey far exceeded initial estimates, reflecting the high anticipation surrounding his NBA career.

Victor Wembanyama's debut jersey sold at a Sotheby's auction for $762,000, far surpassing the initial estimate of $80,000 to $120,000.
The jersey was worn during Wembanyama's first NBA game with the San Antonio Spurs, where he scored 15 points, five rebounds, two assists and one block.
Wembanyama, considered the most hyped basketball prospect since LeBron James, is currently averaging 18.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game in his rookie season.
Despite Wembanyama's individual success, the Spurs are currently struggling as a team, sitting at 3-11 and in last place in the Western Conference.
The unidentified bidder is now expected to be a fervent supporter of Wembanyama, having invested a significant sum in his debut jersey.
