Victor Wembanyama's 2024-25 NBA season is finished after he was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right shoulder. But despite the distressing news, fans still believe in his future.
One, in particular, believes so strongly in Wembanyama's continued excellence that he or she paid $860,100 for the San Antonio Spurs star's rookie card at a Goldin auction on Saturday night, The Athletic reported.
Saturday's auction, for a 2023 Panini Prizm Nebula Choice 1/1 card, surpassed the previous high for a Wembanyama rookie card. Last year, his 2023 Prizm Black Shimmer 1/1 card, sold for $516,000 as Wembanayama was completing his first NBA season that resulted in him winning Rookie of the Year honors.
