Author of his first double-double of the season (34 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists), Sunday evening on the floor of Sacramento, Victor Wembayama signed a new masterclass which allowed the Spurs to overthrow the Kings (127-125) and thus maintain a positive balance sheet (11-9).
It's no longer a secret: Victor Wembanyama takes care of practically everything at Spurs. Sunday, the French superstar once again almost single-handedly carried his entire team on his shoulders to allow San Antonio to overthrow Sacramento on the Kings floor (127-125) and thus maintain a positive record (11 victories, 9 defeats) following this fifth victory in the last six matches. Once again monstrous, “Wemby” signed yet another masterclass but above all his first triple-double (and what a triple-double!) this season (34 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists) – his third since his debut in the NBA – during of a meeting which saw its opponents, carried by the All Star DeMar DeRozan (28 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds) count up to 17 points in advance, while the match had started since eleven minutes only. The Texans would undoubtedly have foundered without the once again stratospheric performance of Wembanyama who is well on his way to playing his first All Star Game, next February in San Francisco.
Promis au All Star Game ?
It would only be fair reward for the Paris 2024 Games silver medalist with the Blues given the way he handled everything again on Sunday in California. Particularly adept at shooting (11 out of 17), particularly at three points (5 out of 9) although he sometimes took shots that seemed impossible, “Wemby”, who added three blocks and an interception to his recital against at the Kings, also excelled collectively, with his new career assist record to boot. And since it was said that it would be the evening of the one who should panic the Accor Arena on January 23 and 25, the former leader of the Mets made sure to validate the new success of his team by shining until at the last second. This gala Wembanyama thus concluded the meeting by chaining a block on DeRozan then a perfect shift to allow Chris Paul (13 points, 10 assists) to hit the mark behind the line and finally a final decisive offensive rebound after a missed free throw by Keldon Johnson. Did you say magical?
