Victor Wembanyama limits media interaction after NBA Finals loss

Summary

Victor Wembanyama, preparing for the upcoming NBA season, has reportedly chosen to limit his interaction with American media following last year's NBA Finals.

Wembanyama is confirmed to be speaking with American media only through '60 Minutes' for the time being. There remains anticipation around how he addresses last season's challenges, particularly when the Spurs return to Madison Square Garden on Christmas Day.
