Overview

  • San Antonio announced auditions Sunday for a new ultras-style Supporters Section conceived by Victor Wembanyama, with the All-Star set to attend.
  • Participants must commit to at least 75% of home games, join organized chants and rituals, and pay a $999 membership that includes perks such as discounts and surprise guest appearances.
  • The Spurs say the group will bring nonstop chants, drums, flags and passion, with seating planned for Section 114 at Frost Bank Center.
  • Wembanyama’s recent Instagram collage showed offseason training with Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett, alongside travel and recovery highlights.
  • He has been medically cleared after last season’s blood-clot illness and is preparing for 2025-26, as an Instagram Live comment favoring Kobe Bryant over Tim Duncan drew fan reaction.
