Overview
- San Antonio beat Toronto 121-103 to remain perfect at 4-0 and tied atop the West with Oklahoma City, as Victor Wembanyama posted 24 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and a late block.
- The late block pushed his consecutive-games-with-a-block streak to 89, a top-tier run in league history that still trails Patrick Ewing’s 145-game record.
- The NBA named Wembanyama Western Conference Player of the Week after a 3-0 opening stretch averaging 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 blocks.
- Through his first three outings he totaled 18 blocks — more than most NBA teams over that span — including 9 in an overtime win against New Orleans.
- He logged 31 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocks to close out Brooklyn on the night San Antonio raised a “Pop 1.390” banner for Gregg Popovich, and his highlights, including a 360-degree layup, have drawn 203 million league social views in six days.
