Early in the second quarter, Guan Ziyu drove to the basket after making it past David Jones Garcia. Wembanyama was waiting in the paint and swatted the shot upward, with the ball bouncing on the backboard. It went straight to Julian Champagnie, who passed the ball to Keldon Johnson for the easy layup.

While it looked like simple play, Wembanyama almost dunked the ball after blocking the shot. He touched the rim even though he barely jumped for the block. His long reach is one of his out-of-this-world physical attributes, which continues to baffle fans and players.

Victor Wembanyama had a memorable offseason, starting it off by visiting monks in a Shaolin temple in China. Wembanyama also went to Japan before touring the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston.

However, the most glaring change in Wembanyama is his added muscle. He looked bigger, showing off his power at training camp. He recently uploaded a power move on teammate Luke Kornet, dropping down the hammer, which went viral.

Being a freak of nature isn't enough for Victor Wembanyama, who gained around 30 pounds of muscle in the offseason. The San Antonio Spurs superstar told Kevin Hart at the 2025 Fanatics Fest last June that he added strength training to his regimen, but he had to do it meticulously so that he wouldn't lose his mobility.

"I gained probably like 30 pounds," Wembanyama said, according to Athlon Sports. "I'm in strength training, of course, but the main thing for me is I could, in theory, put on a lot of weight, but I would lose some of my mobility, some of my athleticism. So it's something that needs to be done really carefully."

Wembanyama and the Spurs have four more preseason games before opening the campaign in Dallas on Oct. 22.
