He scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory, which put the Mets into the No. 2 seed for the upcoming LNB Pro A playoffs.

Wembanyama’s day wasn’t over; he had to go to Nike's Paris headquarters on the Champs Elysees after the game for the Draft Lottery party.

He had to stay up late as the lottery didn’t start until 2:00 in France.

The long wait was worth it, though, for Wembanyama, who finally learned where he would play next in the NBA.

The team that got lucky in Tuesday’s Draft Lottery was the San Antonio Spurs, who nabbed the No. 1 overall pick for the third time in franchise history.
