Victor Wembanyama’s sister Eve will watch her brother’s highly anticipated NBA debut in person on Wednesday.

The French phenom was selected first overall by the Spurs in June’s NBA Draft and has looked promising in the preseason for San Antonio.

And when he plays his first competitive NBA game, he’ll have a familiar face in the stands with his sister, as she revealed on her Instagram Story on Sunday.

Eve posted a mirror selfie with the caption, “Towards (arrow) Texas,” with the Spurs set to host the Mavericks midweek.

The rookie’s sister stole the show at draft night in Brooklyn as she and her other brother Oscar chatted Wembanyama.

“It’s amazing, we’re all so proud,” the 21-year-old said of her brother.

“We’re so happy for you, we’re happy for the family, friends, everything for basketball — it’s so great.”

Later on Instagram, where Eve had been documenting her time in New York this week, she shared a montage of photos with the caption: “I can’t believe this isn’t a dream.”

Eve is a basketball player herself – having played for France at Under 16 level and most recently for Monaco in her home country.

It’s not surprising that her gigantic ‘little’ brother dwarfs her in height, as she is 6 feet tall and he is 6 feet tall.

Eve and millions of others will be tuned in to watch her brother’s NBA debut, with the 19-year-old power forward considered a true generational prospect.

He certainly showed glimpses of that talent during the preseason when he scored 19 points against the Warriors this weekend.

Before that, he scored 23 points against the Heat in a 120-104 win for San Antonio in the preseason.

In that game, Wembanyama showed off his freakish skills as the 7-foot center scored off the dribble, but also knocked home a number of devastating dunks – one of which came from outside the restricted area.

Along with the Thunder’s Chet Holmgren, Wembanyama is considered a contender to win Rookie of the Year.
