Welcome to the star system. Just recruited by the San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama sees, despite himself, his name associated with a news item that involves Britney Spears. According to the American site TMZ, the 41-year-old singer would have been vigorously rejected by the security service which was responsible for the protection of the young (19-year-old) French basketball player. In fact, it is Damian Smith, the director of security of the San Antonio club who is accused of having violently pushed back the interpreter of “Oops! … I Did It Again”. Facts that took place in Las Vegas, where “Wemby” is to make his debut with the Spurs on Friday, during the Summer League.
Still according to TMZ, Britney Spears snuck in to get closer to Victor Wembanyama and pat him on the back to ask him for a selfie. It was not to the taste of security… This is where the versions diverge. Some witnesses claim that Damian Smith slapped him, others that he hit the pop star’s hand and then his hand touched his face. “Wemby”, he continued on his way and entered a restaurant. Contradictory information also as to the possible legal consequences. One thing is certain: San Antonio, with its number 1 in the Draft Wembanyama, will face Charlotte and Brandon Miller, number 2, in the night from Friday to Saturday (2 am) in friendly, for the account of the Summer League of Vegas .
