The conclusion of the NBA Draft Lottery marks a momentous occasion for the Spurs, as this will be their first time holding the top selection since 1997 when they famously chose the legendary Tim Duncan.
The Spurs emerged as the lottery winners with the ping pong ball combination 14, 5, 8, 2. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers narrowly missed out on selecting Wembanyama with their combination of 14, 5, 8, 3, as the final ball didn't fall in their favor, according to Ben Golliver.
While Wembanyama was unable to attend the ceremony in Chicago due to his commitment to the Metropolitans 92 team, who had a French League (LNB) game against Paris Basketball, he celebrated the exciting news from a watch party back in Paris.
