Victor Wembanyama had a year like no rookie in NBA history. The long-expected result became reality on Monday, when the Spurs' star from France was announced as the NBA's rookie of the year. Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren and Charlotte's Brandon Miller were the other finalists for the award.
Barclays said annual growth in consumer spending on its payment cards slowed to 1.6% in April, its weakest since February 2021, down from 1.9% in March and effectively a fall after adjusting for inflation. Separately, the British Retail Consortium reported a sharp drop in retail sales values this April compared with a year earlier. Retail sales values - not adjusting for inflation - fell by 4.0% year-on-year in April, after a 3.5% rise in March, the BRC said.
