Wembanyama seems to have a chip on his shoulder as he gears up for his third season in the league. He missed the second half of last season due to a blood clot in his shoulder and spent the offseason getting back into peak shape. The French superstar not only looks healthier and stronger but has also reportedly added an inch to his height, now officially listed at 7-foot-4.
