Victor Wembanyama's most spectacular summer that no one could have expected

Victor Wembanyama is in China, and his visit is not just for tourist purposes. The San Antonio Spurs star is undertaking a ten-day stay at a Shaolin temple in Zhengzhou, a place that welcomes those who wish to study Chan meditation, Shaolin Kung Fu, traditional Chinese medicine, and other disciplines.

The NBA office in China confirmed Wembanyama's presence at the temple, and various Chinese media outlets also verified his visit. A post on the NBA's official Weibo account urged, "Focus on training!" and revealed the plans for his ten-day stay. However, the news had already leaked through other social media platforms.

In recent days, photos of Wembanyama with a shaved head — a look he didn't have upon arriving in China — and dressed in a tunic similar to those worn by the temple monks began circulating. In one image, he is seated in a Chinese-style chair, surrounded by several Buddha statues.

There was also time for some sightseeing in the early days of the trip. "Victor Wembanyama, live from China, right on the Great Wall, having an amazing time. It's surreal," as commented in a video posted on the Spurs' Instagram account and other platforms.

It is expected that Wembanyama will return to the United States in the coming weeks and join the Spurs delegation participating in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next month. Like many teams, the Spurs often have several main roster players present at these events.

Will He Play in the Euro with France?

The 21-year-old French player led the NBA in blocks during the regular season, although his campaign ended in February after his first All-Star Game appearance due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. San Antonio hopes he will be ready for the start of the next season, and the French national team has also expressed interest in having him for this summer's Euro.
