Victor Wembanyama is criticized for spending too much time on the perimeter, but the Spurs are projecting years down the road & letting him test the limits of what’s possible. Not having that freedom would be, Wembanyama says, “like a bullet to the foot.” wapo.st/3WIe7xl – 8:30 AM

Touching moment: Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul sign then give game-worn jerseys to J.J. Redick’s children
Redick’s young boys are big NBA fans and had a growing memorabilia collection that was destroyed in the wildfires devastating Los Angeles.

JJ Redick talked about Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul giving JJ’s kids a hug and their jerseys postgame. They’re big basketball fans and they lost all of all their jerseys and cards during the wildfires that claimed their Pacific Palisades home. pic.x.com/A2f3IPJ5CS – 1:29 AM

A sweet moment after the Lakers-Spurs game: Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul gifted JJ Redick’s two sons their signed, game worn jerseys. Both boys love basketball and lost their collection of hoops memorabilia in the Palisades fire. pic.x.com/Tp2uyJHYKW – 1:18 AM
