French basketball’s rising star, Victor Wembanyama, acknowledged the decision of the San Antonio Spurs coaching staff to monitor his playing minutes but expressed a desire to spend more time on the court.<\/p>\n

“At the moment, of course, I want to play. It frustrates me. The smarter move is to listen to the coaching staff, even though it’s difficult and annoying.
