During one of the current NBA Summer League games, Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of one of the most brutal dunks. The young and immensely talented Center-Forward Kai Jones of the Hornets snagged a flawless lob from a teammate and sent it over the Frenchman.
The NBA Summer League clash between the Spurs and the Hornets drew interest from all corners of the basketball world. Wembanyama, by all means, had some ridiculously high expectations in his debut Summer League match.

In the tweet about Britney Spears, it was alluded to the fact that the pop star had recently run into Victor Wembanyama’s bodyguards. Spears alleged that one of the rookie’s bodyguards severely hit her. The top pick in this year’s draft opened the game 0-3 and missed a clear-cut dunk opportunity against Brandon Miller.
In the first half, he had trouble scoring, making just 1-7 of his shots and missing all three of his 3-point attempts. He had three blocks, five rebounds, five points, and one soul-crushing picture-perfect crossover from Miller after the first 24 minutes of the game.
Victor Wembanyama embroiled in controversy following his security’s alleged assault on Britney Spears
A chance meeting that goes wrong with Britney Spears is not in the newbie’s guidebook. Spears claimed that Victor’s sentinel slapped her in the mug with the palm of his hand at a restaurant in ‘The Sin City’, forcing her shades to fly off as she practically tumbled to the ground.
After the incident, the singer informed reporters that she still loved the seven-foot-5 star a lot. The “Pop Princess” claimed to have seen Wembanyama’s account of what happened before offering her own. She also anticipated a public apology from the Frenchman’s side for the event.
Later, the Las Vegas Police said in a statement that their investigation had revealed that Britney Spears had accidentally injured herself with her own hand. Moreover, there was no legal action taken against Wembanyama’s security team.
All in all, Victor Wembanyama also made some incredible plays in the game and handled the ball beautifully. Despite his inability to regularly breach Charlotte’s defense, he provided his teammates with a number of opportunities with his passing and game awareness.
