The NBA debut jersey worn by the San Antonio Spurs’ French rookie Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday was sold at auction for a record price of $762,000.
The price of the jersey, which was worn against the Dallas Mavericks on Oct. 25 and was auctioned off by Britain’s famed Sotheby’s, marked a record for a player’s rookie jersey sold during his rookie season.
The all-time record for a rookie uniform belongs to Kobe Bryant’s rookie jersey, which was sold for $3.69 million in 2021.
Wembanyama, 19, has averaged 18.6 points, 9.1 and 2.6 blocks per game during his rookie campaign.
