One action is not everything, unfortunately for Victor Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs, deprived of their coach Gregg Popovich for an indefinite period, lost to the Los Angeles Clippers (113-104) of Nicolas Batum.
In this match, Wembanyama's statistics line is interesting even if his skill requires a little more precision (24 points on 9/22 shots including 2/9 on 3 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists in 30 minutes). We will especially remember one memorable action, with a huge block followed by a counterattack race before slamming an incredible alley-hoop.
The 20-year-old Frenchman seems in great shape in any case. A few days ago, “Wemby” signed the second “five by five” (five units minimum in five positive statistical categories) of his career, only on the 23e in NBA history by compiling 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks against Utah Jazz. Only two players have done better: Hakeem Olajuwon (6) and Andrei Kirilenko (3) in this register of performances which recognizes very versatile players (interceptions and blocks have only been recorded since 1973-74).
