Wembanyama may have recorded another double-double, but this was a frustrating night for the Spurs phenom. The 33.3% mark from the field was Wemby's worst since November 7, when he made 30.8% of his shots in a win over Portland. Wembanyama will have the occasional poor shooting night, especially given how much he relies on the 3-pointer (1-of-9 on Tuesday). But there's nothing to worry about, considering how productive he is across the board.
The NBA said on Monday that Kings center Domantas Sabonis, not Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, deserved a foul late in Sacramento's loss to San Antonio on Sunday.
This was Wembanyama's first triple-double of the season.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, who scored a game-high 34 points, fired his 10th assist to Devin Vassell with 2:49 left on Sunday night, sealing his third career triple-double in his club's 127-125 comeback victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Wembanyama has scored 20 or more points in his last seven games, with Wednesday's point total being the lowest. Despite some early concerns, only Nikola Jokic has been better than Wemby in 8- and 9-cat formats. San Antonio only plays once more in Week 6, at Sacramento on Sunday.
