With Victor Wembanyama and France winning Tuesday’s showdown, they’re now 2-0 in group play. They’ll meet Germany (also 2-0) on Friday in a game to determine who finishes first in Group B, though both have clinched spots in the quarterfinals.
Yuki Togashi finished with three points, one rebound and an assist in 12 minutes. Yuki Kawamura was Japan’s leading scorer with 29 points to go along with seven rebounds and six assists.

Victor Wembanyama Had A Superb Rookie Year With San Antonio Spurs
The 20-year-old Wembanyama was drafted first overall by the San Antonio Spurs a year ago, and the generational talent certainly lived up to expectations as a rookie.
Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest en route to NBA Rookie of the Year honors. Wembanyama shot 46.5 percent from the field and made 32.5 percent of his three-point attempts.
And to think that Wembanyama hasn’t even hit his ceiling yet. Once the Spurs accumulate more talent to help out, they shall re-emerge as a force in the Western Conference following a painful rebuilding phase in the post-dynasty days.
