Ahead of Saturday's matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Victor Wembanyama turned heads with a Halloween costume that quickly went viral. The Spurs' standout center arrived dressed as Geralt of Rivia, the central character from The Witcher franchise.
In previous years, Wembanyama had made a habit of wearing costumes to games around Halloween during his first two NBA seasons. However, that tradition was paused in 2025 because the Spurs did not have a game scheduled on the holiday.
On the court, Wembanyama has continued to excel on both ends to begin the 2026-27 campaign. He is posting averages of 25.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game while shooting 48.0 percent from the field.
The Spurs and Timberwolves are set to tip off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Key Analysis
Wembanyama's costume choice adds a playful element to the pregame atmosphere, but his on-court performance remains the primary focus. As the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, he has picked up right where he left off, anchoring San Antonio's defense while contributing significantly on offense. The Spurs will rely on his continued dominance as they face a challenging Timberwolves squad.
