Open Extended ReactionsNOW IN HIS third NBA season, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has aged out of the Rising Stars competition at All-Star weekend.
San Antonio had lost four of six road games headed into the break last year, and Wembanyama's schedule in San Francisco proved brutal.
Wembanyama said he felt exhausted coming off the Spurs' final game before the All-Star break, a 116-103 loss to the Boston Celtics.
San Antonio would drop 19 of its last 30 games, including 11 of the 18 Fox sat out.
