OKLAHOMA CITY -- Victor Wembanyama's routine was a little off.
The San Antonio Spurs rookie typically takes a midday nap in between practices or prior to games, but Monday was different. His first NBA preseason game was around the corner. As he laid in bed, it just wasn't the same.
"I took a nap," Wembanyama said, "but I couldn't sleep."
Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, said he was filled with excitement as he played his first preseason minutes as a member of the Spurs. He said he had felt a fire within him since Sunday when the Spurs traveled to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder.
