Victor Wembanyama Rebounds From Shaky Outing in French League Finals Game 2 Loss

The NBA Finals may now be over, but the 2023 NBA draft’s projected No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama is still competing for a French League title in the finals series between his Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 and Monaco.

Even though Mets 92 lost 95–88 in Game 2 of the finals on Monday, the 7’4” Frenchman shined in his performance, finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals. This stat line was quite different from Wembanyama’s Game 1 performance when he only scored eight points on eight shots.

Wembanyama bounced back, once again creating more clips for his long highlight reel.

The Mets 92 now trail 0–2 in the finals series with Thursday being a potential elimination game if the team can’t secure a win. It could also be Wembanyama’s last game in the French League if his team loses.
