Did Wembanyama celebrate Rockets not winning draft lottery? originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Fourteen NBA teams had a chance to win the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.
And it appears there may have been at least one that the French phenom preferred not to land the No. 1 overall pick.
The Charlotte Hornets, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs were the final four teams remaining in Tuesday night's 2023 NBA Draft Lottery.
French network beIN Sports' broadcast of the event showed Wembanyama's live reaction as the top four picks were revealed, and he appeared happy when the Rockets were eliminated from contention.
