Victor Wembanyama Hosts Spurs Teammates in France for Exclusive Offseason Training Camp

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama is strengthening team chemistry long before the new NBA season begins, hosting several of his teammates in France for an intensive offseason training camp. The gathering, first reported by #TRASHTALK, is expected to feature between eight and ten Spurs players.

Among those joining Wembanyama is second-year guard Dylan Harper, who recently attended the NBA Summer House at Paris' Palais Brongniart alongside the French star. Videos shared online have shown Harper and other Spurs players touring Paris before beginning their workouts.

Speaking on #TRASHTALK, Spurs CEO R.C. Buford praised Wembanyama's initiative, describing it as another sign of his growing leadership.

"Victor calling his teammates and saying, 'Come over here and spend a week with me,' shows leadership," Buford said, adding that the 22-year-old continues to mature both on and off the court.

Wembanyama has rapidly established himself as one of the NBA's biggest stars. During the 2025/26 season, he became the league's first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year while also earning First Team All-NBA honours after averaging career highs of 25.0 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.

His performances marked an impressive comeback after deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder limited him to just 46 appearances the previous season. The French centre returned stronger, featuring in 64 games and helping reinforce his status among the NBA's elite.

Buford also highlighted Wembanyama's unique leadership style, saying he is not trying to imitate anyone but instead leads through his work ethic, discipline and relationships with teammates.

"He's not trying to be anybody but himself," Buford said. "He sets a great example in the way he prepares, the way he takes care of his body and the way he connects with people."

The France training camp follows another productive offseason for Wembanyama. He recently worked with NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon to refine his post game and also participated in workouts organised by Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox.

Earlier this summer, Wembanyama also signed a five-year rookie maximum contract extension with the San Antonio Spurs, securing his long-term future with the franchise. The extension, along with his growing global profile and partnership with Nike, further cements his place as one of basketball's biggest international stars.

With teammates travelling across the Atlantic to train together before the season begins, the Spurs are hoping the early investment in chemistry and leadership will translate into a stronger campaign when the NBA returns.
