Named a Western Conference reserve, Victor Wembanyama is the San Antonio Spurs' first All-Star representative since 2022.

The Spurs are in prime position to make major waves at the NBA Trade Deadline, potentially acquiring one of the biggest stars in the game.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others are Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998

The starters for the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star Game teams were announced Thursday night. Some big names didn't make the list.

LE CHESNAY, France — Victor Wembanyama stood on the center stripe of a new outdoor court in his hometown, his arms outstretched to their full 8-foot wingspan as he posed for a slew of photographers.

To go along with a 140-110 win, the 7'3" 21-year-old center was a highlight reel machine. In 32 minutes of play, Wembanyama pulled off a self-alley-oop from just inside the free-throw line, dished out another to his teammate Jeremy Sochan, played lock-down defense, and was the Spurs' leading scorer on the afternoon.
