San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama posted a tribute on Friday honoring his late grandmother, while teammate Devin Vassell visited the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Antonio to support local children during the holiday season.

Wembanyama shared a photo and message on his official social media account, recalling personal memories and expressing gratitude for his grandmother’s role in his life and basketball journey.

The post did not include details about her passing. Fans responded with condolences and support, and the tribute highlighted Wembanyama’s personal side amid his rookie NBA season.

Meanwhile, Vassell engaged with youth at a local Boys & Girls Club facility, taking part in organized activities and speaking with children who attend the club’s programs. His visit formed part of community outreach efforts that connect Spurs players with local residents.

Both events occurred while the Spurs continued their regular season schedule and underscored the players’ involvement with family and community during the holidays.
