Victor Wembanyama's season with Metropolitans 92 ended Thursday night in Paris with a 92-85 loss to Monaco in Game 3 of LNB Pro A's championship series, paving the way for Wembanyama to be the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft next week in Brooklyn.

Wembanyama, one of the biggest prospects in NBA history, had 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks in his final game for Metropolitans 92, who were swept out of the championship series by Monaco, one of the best teams in Europe and the dominant team in France's top league this season.

Monaco's roster features several players with previous NBA experience, including guards Mike James, Elie Okobo and Jordan Loyd and center Donatas Motiejunas.

After leading for most of the game, Monaco pulled ahead in the closing minutes thanks to back-to-back 3s from Loyd, allowing the franchise to claim its first ever French LNB Pro A title, outscoring Metropolitans 92 29-15 in the fourth quarter.
