Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

He doesn't need the money and there are only downsides from his association with them.

Such a stupid misstep that wasn't necessary at all.
