"This one feels unreal even more," he said. "I thought maybe a month ago that some preseason games would prepare me for that moment, and it would be just another game. But it feels totally different. The fact it's an actual NBA regular-season game. It's different." Wembanyama also moved to play down suggestions that he could struggle with the physicality of the league.
He said: "Everyone has their strength, and being physical is something I've seen my whole life, basically every time I stepped on a court for the last few years."It's not something I'm afraid of. Quickness beats physicality when used correctly. It's really part of the game. I'm used to it."
