After the game, the 24-year-old was asked about playing against Victor Wembanyama, and he made a very interesting admission.
Wembanyama only played 21 minutes against the Golden State Warriors, but he did what he had to do.
The Frenchman scored 12 points and recorded 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal. It wasn’t a vintage scoring night by any means, but it was a fine display nonetheless.
Lendeborg, on the other hand, only managed three points in his 24 minutes on the court. It was his worst return of the season, and he was really upset after the game.
