Think Wemby is ready for the season? Watch him throw off-the-backboard alley-oop to himself

Victor Wembanyama’s preseason dominance continued with a jaw-dropping solo play in San Antonio’s final tune-up before the regular season. The San Antonio Spurs forward showcased his versatility with a coast-to-coast alley-oop off the backboard—passing to himself for a two-handed dunk—while also contributing 14 points, eight rebounds, and multiple blocks in just 17 minutes of action.

The Spurs open their campaign against the Oklahoma City Thunder, featuring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in a high-stakes opener that carries the intensity of a Game 8 rematch from last year’s Western Conference Finals. The matchup kicks off at 9:30 p.m.

ET on NBC/Peacock, capping off a packed triple-header that includes Boston vs. Detroit and LeBron James’s Philadelphia 76ers facing the defending-champion New York Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson.
