San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama spent part of the time after the NBA All-Star break in Alaska, making the trip to see the northern lights.
Reflecting on the visit, Wembanyama described the aurora borealis as “the best thing I’ve ever seen,” underscoring how memorable the experience was away from the court.
A brief reset during the season
The trip came during the All-Star break window, a rare pause in the NBA calendar that allows players time to rest and recharge before the stretch run of the regular season. For Wembanyama, the visit offered a unique change of scenery before returning to San Antonio’s schedule.
