International Success
This summer, Wembanyama exhibited his skills on the international platform. He guided France to the final match for the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, scoring 26 points and grabbing seven rebounds against Team USA. His display put pressure on the Americans, who relied on Stephen Curry’s late three-pointers to clinch the victory.
