Victor Wembanyama Sparks Fan Reactions in France as Spurs Eye Kawhi Leonard Trade

Victor Wembanyama returned to France after the San Antonio Spurs fell short in the 2026 NBA Finals, where he posted 26.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.6 blocks per game. Fans greeted him with chants dubbing him “MVP,” but many mocked the title, questioning what championship it referred to and teasing his brief appearance at the celebration.

Meanwhile, the Spurs are reportedly exploring a trade for former star Kawhi Leonard, who could be paired with Wembanyama to form a high‑impact duo. Insider reports suggest the Raptors and the Spurs are the only teams Leonard might consider. A deal would likely require the Spurs to part with a promising guard such as Dylan Harper or Stephon Castle, highlighting the franchise’s willingness to build around Wembanyama while seeking veteran leadership.
