The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs star is in “closed-door martial arts training,” an employee at Shaolin Temple in central China told NBC News.

French 7’3” NBA star Victor Wembanyama may have just unlocked a new position: Shaolin monk. Wembanyama, who ended last season early due to a rare blood clot in his right shoulder appeared to be looking for some off-season spiritual peace and strength at a Shaolin Temple in central China.

Victor Wembanyama continues to immerse himself in the way of the monk. The San Antonio Spurs superstar’s spiritual retreat halfway across the world has become a fascinating secondary storyline with the NBA Finals ongoing.
