Victor Wembanyama is the youngest center ever to score 50 in a game by more than a full year.
Wemby is 20 years and 314 days old. The previous leader among centers was Shaq, who did it when he was 22 years and 45 days old. – 11:06 PM

Special first half for Wemby, Spurs taking care of the ball and scoring well
They will squander all of that in an embarrassing way if they don’t tighten up the defensive rotations – 9:13 PM

Unless you’re LeBron James or Kevin Durant, making 100 dunks and 100 threes in an NBA season is a rare feat
Wemby is on pace to become the fourth player to do it multiple times pic.x.com/qkLDXZW1DY – 9:30 AM
