NBA Analyst Claims Victor Wembanyama May Have Grown Taller
Some people think basketball player Victor Wembanyama might be even taller now!
A sports analyst said he might have grown an inch, making him almost 7 feet 7 inches tall.
Right now, he's listed at about 7 feet 3 inches.
This news comes from a podcast, not official records.
If he did grow, it would make him even harder to play against!
He had a good start last year, but had to stop playing due to a health issue.
We'll see if the rumors are true when training starts again.
NBA analyst Bill Simmons suggests Victor Wembanyama may have grown an inch during the offseason.
Simmons reported Wembanyama could now be 7-foot-7, potentially surpassing Zach Edey's height.
The NBA currently lists Wembanyama at 7-foot-3.5 inches without shoes and 7-foot-5 inches with shoes.
Wembanyama had a strong rookie season, but his season ended early due to a blood clot.
Official confirmation of Wembanyama's height will likely come during the 2025 training camps.
