Wembanyama’s NBA Summer League Debut
Sells Out, and Jasper Philipsen Scores Hat Trick of Stages at Tour de France
The Associated
Press reports that Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs’ 7-foot-3
rookie, has sold out all 17,500 tickets for his first game at the NBA Summer
League in Las Vegas tonight. “Wemby”, as he’s known, commented after
yesterday’s practice:
“I can’t wait.
Can’t wait. The practices lately have been really intense. I made a little
pause in basketball with the draft and stuff, couldn’t really practice. I’m
getting back in shape and I can’t wait. I’m having so much fun.”
Reuters reports that
Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen has denied Britain’s Mark Cavendish a
record-breaking victory on the Tour de France by securing a hat trick of
stages, winning a mass sprint in Bordeaux. The 38-year-old Cavendish was
chasing a record-breaking 35th Tour de France individual win, but was
eventually overpowered by Philipsen. Philipsen, who benefited from teammate
Mathieu van der Poel's lead-out, commented:
"We can't be
proud enough of the team. Without them it would have been impossible to win a
third stage already. I'm proud of them. We worked together and that led to
success.”
He went on to add:
“I was always on
a good wheel and never had to make a big effort before I had to produce my
sprint. If you had told me a week ago, I'd have told you that you're crazy. We
will just continue to add others (stage wins)."
