Victor Wembanyama is set to play his first game in a Spurs uniform.

The Spurs already have a couple of Summer League games under their belt, but Wembanyama didn't join his new team for the California Classic. The plan was instead for him to play in the Las Vegas Summer League, which features all 30 teams in the league and begins on Friday, July 7.

The Spurs open their Las Vegas Summer League schedule with a matchup against the Hornets, who are led by the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Brandon Miller. It will be the first of many showdowns between Wembanyama and Miller in the years to come.
