DENVER -- Victor Wembanyama's next couple of weeks are now set: He'll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs will almost certainly make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft June 22.
And if that means the French star's summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the NBA is fine with that.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league doesn't have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama's first game with the Spurs. While the NBA summer league in Las Vegas is the biggest -- all 30 teams attend -- and commands the most attention, there are smaller summer leagues that precede the Vegas event by a few days.
