San Antonio Spurs’ rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama has set the internet abuzz, not just with his on-court skills, but with his off-court bedtime routine. The 7-foot-4 Frenchman has a strict rule for Spurs staff: no phone calls after 9:30 PM, as he dedicates this time to reading before his 10:30 PM bedtime.

This disciplined approach to his nightly routine has drawn humorous jabs from fans, especially in light of Joel Embiid recently dropping a 70-piece on the Spurs. Others have admired his disciplined lifestyle, as he gets in bed at the right time, which means he is not getting into any late-night distractions and is ready for practice fully rested and prepared.
