Victor Wembanyama has had a heck of a career as he plays his fourth NBA season. But nothing matches what he did on Wednesday.
The San Antonio Spurs superstar set a new career high with 52 points, plus 24 rebounds and 8 blocks, in a 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks. No player in NBA history has posted those totals, and only one other player had posted even a 50-20-5 game (Bob McAdoo, Feb 22, 1974).
The game came down to the final possessions, with Wembanyama making a free throw to give the Spurs the lead and Kyrie Irving missing a would-be game-winner.
CAREER NIGHT FOR WEMBY.
