Victor Wembanyama escaped the NBA Finals whirlwind with some drawing in a park before playing a starring role in the San Antonio Spurs' 115-111 victory at the New York Knicks on Monday.
The French superstar scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds to spark a San Antonio win that pulled them within 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, which continues on Wednesday.
"Wemby" escaped the mental tensions of the NBA Finals by leaving the hotel hours before game three and making a drawing of a statue in a park.
"Really tried to relax," said Wembanyama. "The playoffs, it's like a whirlwind. It's hard to put your head out of the water.
"I need some time off, let my brain cool down, recover as much for the body as for the mind."
