Victor Wembanyama resumed his viral Halloween tradition Saturday, dressing as Geralt of Rivia from "The Witcher" for the Spurs home game. The 22-year-old center explained the book series is his favorite because of its deep characters and blend of epic fantasy with human psychology. This marked his first Halloween game at Frost Bank Center, after pausing the ritual last season when the Spurs had no holiday game.
Wembanyama's costume continuation followed his 2024 No-Face outfit and 2023 Slender Man debut. Teammates also participated, with De'Aaron Fox dressing as Toy Story characters and Keldon Johnson as a cowboy. Backup center Luke Kornet remained undecided, considering a "Sound of Music" costume for his children.
Wembanyama, known for strong performances in previous Halloween games, expressed enthusiasm for the series' characters, feeling like he knows them like friends after reading all seven books.
