Less than a month later, the jersey was put up for auction with a minimum bid of $10,000, prompting Wembanyama to react on social media with crying emojis.
Fast forward a couple of months, and the jersey was sold at auction for a staggering $73,200, according to ESPN. The bidding started at $33,000 on the final day of the auction and quickly soared from there.
On the same day, Wembanyama’s rookie card was also sold at auction, fetching an incredible $860,100. The young star is projected to be one of the league’s biggest faces in the coming years. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until next season to see him back on the court after he was diagnosed with a blood clot in his shoulder.
