The next time Victor Wembanyama wears a jersey it’ll be for the San Antonio Spurs. Wembanyama, the heavy favorite to be the No. 1 pick in next week’s NBA Draft, saw his season with Metropolitans 92 conclude Thursday at the long end of a broomstick, with his team eliminated in a Pro A Finals sweep in three games to league-leading Monaco.
Wembanayama for his part did as much as he could to keep Mets 92 in the mix and competitive. For the third straight game, Monaco was on its heels early as Wemby and the Mets threw haymakers. But like each of the last few games, Monaco and its stifling defense stuffed things in a bag, racing out to a 92-85 victory to claim its first Pro A title.
Days after turning in 19 points, seven boards and four assists in a bounce-back performance in Game 2, Wembanyama had a series-best 22 points and four blocks while going a perfect 9-for-9 from the free-throw line in the loss. He also added a pair of assists and seven rebounds, but could not overcome Monaco’s second-half avalanche of scoring that helped them again overcome an early Mets 92 advantage.
