Despite the Lakers’ setback, LeBron James, who led his team with 23 points, had nothing but admiration for Wembanyama. James reiterated his earlier sentiments, emphasizing the young talent’s uniqueness and expressing confidence that the Spurs have acquired a valuable asset.
“Nothing has changed in what I’ve already said about him previously. Special talent. They got a good one here,” James said.
