Wembanyama has been announced as one of the expected participants in the inaugural NBA Con in Las Vegas
The plane from France carrying Wembanyama – who almost certainly will be taken by the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s draft – arrived at Newark International Airport outside of New York City on Monday.Some fans knew what flight he was on and when the plane was landing, and many were waiting.
“I don’t know how they knew what flight I was on, but it’s fun,” Wembanyama said in a video distributed on the NBA’s social media channels as he walked through the New Jersey airport, ducking his head to avoid some of the signage bolted to the terminal’s ceiling. “It’s different, seeing that you can have such impact on people.”
It’s the start of a hectic few days for the 19-year-old French phenom who long has been considered a generational prospect the likes of which hasn’t been seen since LeBron James entered the league in 2003. Wembanyama is expected to appear at a pre-draft media availability on Wednesday, then has the actual draft Thursday and likely will be in San Antonio some time Friday.
