The San Antonio Spurs have their building block of the future, as they were able to land French sensation Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft. Wembanyama will be the leader of the Spurs as they look to get back to winning ways in the 2020s. But the Spurs could be making some business moves with Wemby in mind.
A report from the San Antonio Express-News revealed that the San Antonio Spurs could be looking to move to a new arena in a few years that can get more eyes on Victor Wembanyama.
The report stated that the owners of the Spurs and baseball team San Antonio Missions could look to build a massive downtown sports complex that could also house eating and drinking establishments.
The report noted that the Spurs’ lease with the AT&T Center expires in 2032, giving the team nine years to build a new, larger arena that could generate more income with them. It also stated that the Spurs moving to a downtown arena generates excitement in the city.
Victor Wembanyama Could Usher A New Era For The Spurs
It’s clear that the Spurs are building their franchise around Wembanyama, and even basing some of their off-court decisions around the French superstar. Wemby will be the new star to usher in the next era for the San Antonio Spurs. For Wembanyama, he now faces the added pressure of carrying the hopes of a massive franchise.
Wembanyama has already started attracting eyeballs to this league, as his NBA Summer League debut became the second-most watched Summer League game in NBA history. This shows that Wemby is a draw for the NBA, and could be the figure that becomes the face of the league.
Wembanyama’s debut was not one to remember, with several embarrassing moments. However, he was able to redeem himself and was able to make a solid impact in his second and final game for the Spurs in Las Vegas. Now, the NBA world will turn to the regular season when Spurs makes his debut.
