Victor Wembanyama’s impact on the San Antonio Spurs is extending beyond the court and into the stands.
The Jackals, an 83-member Spurs fan club handpicked by Wembanyama, have become a visible and vocal presence inside the arena, turning Section 114 into a roaring, choreographed spectacle on game nights.
Built around energy, coordination and a prominent courtside-adjacent identity, the group has added another layer to the Spurs’ home environment as the franchise continues to build around its star center.

The defining detail of the Jackals is their origin: Wembanyama personally selected the members, giving the group a direct connection to the player at the center of San Antonio’s current era.
With synchronized support from their section, the Jackals have turned a specific corner of the arena into a stage of its own, blending fan culture with the spectacle surrounding one of the NBA’s most closely watched young stars.
