There’s no stopping Victor Wembanyama this November! Kyshwan George and Washington learned that the hard way Thursday in Texas. The French prodigy scored 50 points, thanks in particular to 8 award-winning shots, during San Antonio’s 139-130 success against the Wizards, who conceded their 6th defeat in a row.
At 20 years and 314 days old, Wembanyama became the 4th youngest player in NBA history to reach this 50-point threshold behind Brandon Jennings, LeBron James and Devin Brooker.
Coming off the bench, Kyshawn George cannot be ashamed of his performance. Aligned for 32 minutes, the Valaisan scored 12 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, delivered 6 assists and stole 2 balls for a differential of +7. George will meet Clint Capela on Friday in Atlanta for the third Swiss “derby” of the year. He won the first 2 for the Wizards’ only 2 victories to date.

59 points for Giannis Antetokounmpo
Wembanyama was not, however, the most prolific player of the evening. Giannis Antetokounmpo, in fact, scored… 59 points to allow Milwaukee to beat Detroit 127-120 in overtime. The Greek pivot thus sets the points record for this season. His personal best is a 64-point game last season against Indiana.
