2023 is the year of Victor Wembanyama. Long before Wembanyama will likely hear his name called first overall at the 2023 NBA Draft in June, he’s got plenty of unfinished business to handle in France’s LNB Pro A league.

Wednesday night’s action around the NBA featured 26 teams and 13 games, meaning there was no shortage of highlights.
