Victor Wembanyama Reacts To Getting Posterized By Warriors Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis
Victor Wembanyama isn’t losing any sleep over getting posterized by Trayce Jackson-Davis.
In the fourth quarter of Monday’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, Victor Wembanyama got posterized by Trayce Jackson-Davis. Wembanyama was asked about the play after the game and he wasn’t too fazed by it.
“Getting dunked on is nothing,” Wembanyama said. “It’s part of the game. I dunk on a lot of people and a lot of people dunk on me too. But I think I block more often than I get dunked on, so that’s positive.”
Well, Wembanyama does lead the league with 3.4 blocks per game, so he certainly does block a lot more often than he gets dunked on. He tried his hardest to deny Jackson-Davis at the rim, but the Warriors rookie managed to slam it in. In case you missed it, here is that impressive poster dunk.
It is just a part of the game at the end of the day as Wembanyama says, especially for someone like him who has to defend the rim. The 20-year-old isn’t going to shy away from doing his job just so that he avoids getting posterized, and you respect that.
We see a fair few players just get out of the way when they realize it might happen because they don’t want to be ridiculed on social media. Wembanyama, though, isn’t losing any sleep over it.
What he might be losing sleep over, though, is losing games and the Spurs lost 112-102 here. Wembanyama had 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks in the contest, but only shot 10-25 from the field and 3-9 from beyond the arc. The Spurs dropped to 14-51 with the loss and look set to finish the season at the bottom of the standings in the West.
