Victor Wembanyama made headlines in the NBA with a historic performance during the recent Nuggets-Spurs game. The game took place on Friday night, with the Denver Nuggets dominating the San Antonio Spurs and securing a 117-106 victory.
Wembanyama showcased his talent on the court, contributing 17 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks in 33 minutes of play. Despite shooting 4/12 from the field and 1/5 from beyond the arc, his impact was undeniable.
The highlight of the game was Wembanyama’s achievement in NBA history. He became only the second player since blocks were officially recorded in 1973-74 to record 200+ blocks and 100+ made threes in a season, a feat previously achieved by Raef LaFrentz in 2001-02.
Throughout his rookie season, Wembanyama has maintained an impressive performance, averaging 20.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 3.4 blocks per game.
