An emotional Wembanyama told reporters that he lost "someone close to him" and immediately left his press conference after the Spurs' NBA Cup Finals loss.
The San Antonio Spurs came up short of reaching their ultimate goal in Vegas, absorbing a 124-113 loss against the New York Knicks in the championship round of this season's NBA Cup.
No other player has shouldered the burden of responsibility for this loss than Victor Wembanyama. And apparently, the Spurs superstar also had to endure the loss of someone who is close to him.
As he faced the media on Tuesday, Wembanyama turned emotional and immediately left the press room after answering two questions.
Wembanyama played 25 minutes off the bench and finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks to lead the Spurs on a losing effort.
