Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is hoping to get better in 2025-26.
He may or may not be a better player, but he will be a taller one.
According to Michael Wright, Wembanyama is now listed as 7-foot-4 for the new NBA season.
Last season, he was 7-foot-3, which means he has somehow grown another inch over the summer.
This could help his reach, his game, and his team.

The Spurs were already wildly excited about Wembanyama’s upcoming season, but this makes things even better.
Last year, he averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, and a league-high 3.8 blocks per game.
He was well on his way to winning his first Defensive Player of the Year award, but deep vein thrombosis got in his way, and he only participated in 46 games.
Since leaving the court, he has spent his time getting better, working on his body, and preparing his mind for the new year.
He has had a busy summer and has traveled all over the world and met with a few NBA icons, such as Kevin Garnett.
Wembanyama is clearly preparing to have his best season yet.
It’s unclear how he grew another inch, but he is a young man at only 21 years old, so it isn’t that crazy to see him sprout up more.
He already had incredible reach on the court, but now it’ll be even better.
Hopes were high for Wembanyama last season, but they are even higher this time.
With a taller frame and better health, he could be on his way to an All-Star appearance, Defensive Player of the Year, and more.
