Victor Wembanyama is only getting started.
Victor Wembanyama never ceases to blow people’s minds with what he’s capable of doing on the basketball court. With his size alone, the San Antonio Spurs rookie is already a commanding presence whenever he’s on the floor. But his ability to combine his size with exceptional, athleticism, agility, and court awareness is making him a much more destructive weapon for the Spurs, who just edged the Indiana Pacers at home on Sunday, 117-105, thanks in large part to Wembanyama.
Just after putting up a monster performance in a 132-118 upset win over the Oklahoma City Thunder last Thursday, Wembanyama went off with another sparkling showing against the Pacers, posting 31 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, six blocks, and a steal in just 31 minutes of action. With that incredible showcase of all-around brilliance, Wembanyama just became the first player in the history of the league to complete a mind-bending feat, per StatMuse.
In addition to that, Wembanyama joined another exclusive franchise club that also features San Antonio legends David Robinson and Tim Duncan (h/t NBA History).
“Victor Wembanyama joins David Robinson (2x) and Tim Duncan as the only rookies in NBA history to record 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and 5+ blocks in a game.”
The Spurs are extremely unlikely to make the 2024 NBA Playoffs, as they only have a 13-48 record, but they can already start dreaming of the postseaosn success they are going to have in the future with Wembanyama leading the team. For now, Wemby is only getting started.
