In the past few days, Victor Wembenyama appeared exhausted due to the consecutive matches and particularly the defeats of San Antonio. However, the talented rookie of the Spurs was monstrous last night, ending his team’s 7-game losing streak. The Texan franchise, traveling to Toronto in Canada, won 122-99, largely thanks to the Frenchman.
Wembanyama achieved a triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 blocks. A very rare performance. The former ASVEL player becomes the 8th rookie to record 10 blocks in a game, following in the footsteps of Dikembe Mutombo from Congo, Manute Bol from Sudan, Harvey Catchings, Mark Eaton, Ralph Sampson, Josh Smith, and David Robinson. The 20-year-old player currently leads the NBA shot-blockers leaderboard with an average of 3 blocks per game.
