先前NBA盃馬刺對上雷霆的賽前，Victor Wembanyama接受了主持人Taylor Rooks的採訪。Rooks向Wembanyama詢問將與Chet Holmgren對陣的感受時，Wembanyama則將話題帶往防守Shai Gilgeous-Alexander的議題上。
當談到與Chet Holmgren對決的議題時，Victor Wembanyama在受訪中回應道：「MVP(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)在場上，他是我們防守的重點。當你要協防MVP的時候，防守任何人都會變得很困難。」

而對於Wembanyama的這番言論，在場邊轉播的Dirk Nowitzki則表示不大喜歡：「我不喜歡Wemby對Chet的回答，我希望他能對Chet稍微肯定一些。我覺得他的說法太傲慢、太輕蔑了。」
本場比賽最終由馬刺險勝雷霆晉級NBA盃決賽，Victor Wembanyama上場21分鐘攻下22分、9籃板、2阻攻、2助攻，Chet Holmgren上場30分鐘攻下17分、7籃板。
