Denied a victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Victor Wembanyama made it clear that he wasn't leaving Manhattan without at least one win. W
Hours after a win against the Brooklyn Nets, the San Antonio Spurs star met with people to play chess at Washington Square Park in Manhattan.
Victor Wembanyama went to a park in New York City and played 1-on-1 with fans on Saturday. He even lost a couple of games. Not in basketball, though.
Victor Wembanyama returned from a concussion test in the third period to finish with 19 points and six blocks in pushing the Spurs to a 96-87 win.
The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves for the next game. Find out if Victor Wembanyama is playing or not.
Wembanyama, who began playing chess at 7 years old, later proposed an "NBA players-only Chess tournament," with proceeds that go "to the charity of choice of the winner." In September, Wemby returned home where he held a chess competition with Stanford Cardinal forward, and fellow 7-footer, Maxime Raynaud.
According to the NBA's most recent MVP ladder, Wembanyama is fourth in the running to win the Michael Jordan Trophy, behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. His two dominant performances against Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are key reasons why he jumped ahead from the fifth spot, passing Jayson Tatum.
