Two minutes into Saturday night’s contest between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, a bat descended onto the Frost Bank Center court, leading to the home team’s mascot to pull off quite the heroics.
Victor Wembanyama had just made a 3-pointer when the bat flew into his vision. He was so impressed by the Spurs mascot that “The Coyote” received the rookie’s seal of approval.

The Coyote caught the bat with a net after several failed attempts. Jeremy Sochan and Wembanyama celebrated with the mascot.
