That's quite a poster slam for Jones, as Wembanyama is no slouch on the defensive end.
The viral moment was part of a rocky unofficial first NBA game for Wembanyama. The 19-year-old shot 2-for-13, including 1-for-6 from 3, for nine points, eight rebounds, three assists, five blocks and three turnovers in a 76-68 San Antonio win. Wemby had his moments, particularly on the defensive end, but struggled offensively.
Wembanyama will look to bounce back when the Spurs battle the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
