Victor Wembanyama debuts in front of Spurs fans in open scrimmage

SAN ANTONIO -- Victor Wembanyama's new city got an up close and personal look at the new rookie on Saturday.

In front of 13,200 fans at the newly re-named Frost Bank Center, Wembanyama and the rest of the San Antonio Spurs took the court for an open scrimmage. It was the first time the No. 1 overall pick took the court in front of his new fans.

"It really warmed my heart to see that every time a player of our team stepped on the court, they almost had a standing ovation," Wembanyama said after the scrimmage.
