After French rookie Victor Wembanyama won the Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award, the San Antonio Missions honored his achievement by holding a “Victor Night” during their doubleheader.
Any fan who attended the games with the names Victor or Victoria or anyone who brought their French bulldog or poodle was given a free outfield reserve ticket and an order of french fries.
Fans were also able to win Victor Wembanyama-related memorabilia with a raffle in between innings. Among the items in the raffle were a signed basketball, Wembanyama basketball cards, jerseys and a poster that included a piece of a basketball Wembanyama used during his rookie season.
Sadly, the Missions lost both games of their double header to Frisco, losing 6-3 and 6-4 on Wednesday night.
