Victor Wembanyama posted career highs of 52 points and 24 rebounds alongside eight blocks to guide the San Antonio Spurs to a 112-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The 22-year-old French star scored 29 points in the first half while shooting a perfect 15-for-15 from the free-throw line, propelling San Antonio to a 68-51 halftime lead.
Wembanyama briefly exited in the fourth quarter after rolling his right ankle but returned to score 10 decisive points down the stretch. He joined Bob McAdoo as the only players since blocks became an official statistic in 1973-74 to record at least 50 points, 20 rebounds, and five blocks in a single NBA game.
