The San Antonio Spurs released their roster for the NBA's Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday, a list that contains 2023 No1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama.

Multiple reports previously indicated that Wembanyama, the league's most heralded rookie since LeBron James in 2003, will make his ballyhooed debut in the Spurs' Vegas opener against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, where he'll square off against No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller.

Wembanyama told reporters following a team practice last week that he's expected to play "at least one or two" of the Spurs' four confirmed Vegas games. The 7-foot-3 Frenchman did not take part in San Antonio's two contests at the recent California Classic in Sacramento.

"It's going to be intense," Wembanyama said. "I can't wait to wear that Spurs jersey for the first time."

The Spurs also have a game scheduled against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, then take on the Washington Wizards on Tuesday before meeting the Detroit Pistons on Friday in their final matchup before the league playoffs.

Tickets for Day 1 of the Summer League quickly sold out in anticipation of Wembanaya's debut, which is expected to draw approximately 17,500 fans to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center.

Considered a generational prospect due to his playmaking skills and mammoth eight-foot wingspan, Wembanyama arrives in the NBA after spending three seasons as a teenager in France's top professional league. The 19-year-old averaged 21.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and three blocks in 34 games for Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 this past season while leading the team to the league finals.
