Spurs blowouts are sending Victor Wembanyama to the bench early, and per-36 math shows how much more the San Antonio star could do if games stayed close.

Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams argues that frequent blowout victories by the San Antonio Spurs are preventing fans from seeing Victor Wembanyama post even larger statistical lines in full-minute games. In a recent 122-96 blowout win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday, Wembanyama tallied 40 points, 11 rebounds, and nine blocks in just 25 minutes before resting.
Williams highlights that across six double-digit blowouts this season, Wembanyama has averaged just 26 minutes per game. The writer notes that when given extended playing time, such as against the Dallas Mavericks on November 4, Wembanyama recorded 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks over 34 minutes during San Antonio's current nine-game winning streak.
