Prized rookies Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama battled for the first time during the regular season on Tuesday night, as the Thunder and Spurs faced off in the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.
The height battle featuring the 7’1” Holmgren and the 7’4” Wembanyama had fans intrigued from the opening tip. Quite literally so, as when the two rookie centers stepped to center court for the game-opening jump ball, the result was rather astounding.
A photo of the jump ball between Wembanyama and Holmgren, which was taken by Logan Riely, went viral on social media, and NBA fans were awestruck by the two lanky big men as they competed for the opening possession.
