For a first-year player this season, the minimum salary hovers just below $1.2 million. In stark contrast, consider Victor Wembanyama, whose jersey recently commanded a price of over half that amount.
As reported by BasketballNews.com, a jersey worn by the Spurs’ towering player in his NBA debut was sold at Sotheby’s for a staggering $762,000. This sale marks the highest-ever amount paid for a rookie jersey in the history of the NBA.
