Victor Wembanyama has historically become the first player in league history to record 100 points and 15 blocks in his first three regular-season games, etching his name into the record books.
Victor leads the San Antonio Spurs to a 118–107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in Texas on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old French sensation, who was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2023, once again showcased his all-around brilliance, finishing with 31 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, three steals, and six blocks in 36 minutes of play.
The Spurs appeared to be cruising after opening up a 26-point lead, heading into the third quarter with an 81–55 advantage, however, Brooklyn responded with a 26–7 run, cutting the deficit to 88–81 and threatening to overturn the game.
San Antonio, though, steadied the ship in the fourth quarter. A 10–0 run led by Wembanyama and Devin Vassell helped the home side restore control and eventually seal their third straight win to maintain an unbeaten start to the season.
