Victor Wembanyama checked off a key benchmark Friday night, reaching the 65-game threshold tied to awards eligibility while turning in one of his biggest performances of the season.
Wembanyama scored 40 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs rolled past the Dallas Mavericks, 139-120.
A milestone night
By appearing in his 65th game, Wembanyama met the league’s minimum games requirement for individual award consideration. He paired that milestone with a dominant stat line, leading the Spurs in both scoring and rebounding in a high-scoring victory.
Spurs take care of business
San Antonio’s offense was in full flow, posting 139 points and building enough separation to secure a comfortable win over Dallas. Wembanyama’s 40-point, 13-rebound outing stood at the center of the result, giving the Spurs a marquee performance in a lopsided final.
