An unexpected story unfolds as Wemby’s younger sister also emerges as a basketball star through her own talents

Eve Wembanyama, Victor's sister.

French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama is already making waves in the NBA as the first pick in the 2023 Draft and new San Antonio Spurs star. But did you know he’s not the only basketball star in his family? Victor has a younger sister named Eve Wembanyama who is also known for her basketball career.

She has represented France in various 3×3 basketball events and has played for the LDLC ASVEL Feminin club in the EuroLeague Women league. Standing at 6’1″, she may be shorter than her towering brother, who measures an impressive 7’4″. When Eve isn’t dominating on the court, she keeps her fans updated on her Instagram, where she has amassed a significant following.

But the Wembanyama basketball dynasty doesn’t stop there. Victor and Eve have a younger brother named Oscar Wembanyama, who is also making a name for himself in the sport. Oscar made his debut in 2020 for Nanterre’s U-15 team, the same team his brother Victor once played for. He later signed with ASVEL in 2022. Though not as tall as Victor, Oscar still stands at an impressive 6’7″.

Who are the talented trio’s parents?

Victor and Eve’s parents are Felix Wembanyama and Elodie de Fautereau. Victor has credited his parents for instilling in him his athletic ability. His dad, Felix, was a former track and field athlete, while his mom, Elodie, transitioned from being a professional basketball player to a coach. It seems that basketball runs in the family genes.

Even Victor’s grandparents have a basketball background. His grandfather, Michel De Fautereau, played basketball in the 1960s, and his grandmother, Marie Christine, used to chauffeur her husband to and from games. Basketball truly seems to be an integral part of the Wembanyama family’s DNA.

In a recent interview, Victor expressed his gratitude for his family’s influence, saying, “I can’t avoid it in my family. Basketball has always been around.” With such a strong basketball pedigree, it’s no wonder the Wembanyama siblings are making waves in the basketball world.
