Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama Makes History vs. Raptors

The San Antonio Spurs have been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, as their 11 victories are third least in the league. But, the future remains bright for the franchise because they have a generational talent to build their roster up around.

The No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama, has not disappointed. He came into the league with insane hype and sky-high expectations. To this point in his rookie campaign, he has done nothing to quell those talks.

Wembanyama has been a dominant force for the Spurs in the frontcourt. Whether it is on offense or defense, he is providing highlights on a nightly basis, wowing fans and peers alike with his rare blend of size and skill.

Against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, Wembanyama recorded the second triple-double of his career. Just like the first one, against the Detroit Pistons on January 10th, he made NBA history in recording it.

Against the Pistons, Wembanyama became the youngest center to record a triple-double. On Monday, Wembanyama became the first rookie to record a triple-double including blocks while playing under 30 minutes.

In 29 minutes, Wembanyama scored 27 points with 14 rebounds and 10 blocks. He rounded out his stat line with five assists and two steals in a 122-99 blowout victory for San Antonio on the road.
