WEMBANYAMA SUES TEXAS MAN FOR ILLEGALLY PROFITING FROM HIS NIL

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday sued a Texas man for illegally using his NIL to sell shirts, candles, hooded sweatshirts, coffee mugs, mousepads, magnets, baby bibs, beer mugs and wrapping paper.

Wembanyama, the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year who led France to a silver medal in the 2024 Summer Olympics, filed a complaint in a Texas federal court against James T. Glodich, who is described as residing in Austin, Texas. According to Wembanyama, Glodich began an multifaceted plot to use his NIL about a month after the Spurs selected the 7-foot-3 French phenom with the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
