Wembanyama is now the sixth player in NBA history to achieve 30 points and 10 blocks in a game, a feat previously accomplished by names like Hakeem Olajuwon, Dwight Howard, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In addition to his scoring and defensive impact, Wembanyama also made history with his unique stat line. He became the first player in NBA history to hit four 3-pointers and record 10 blocks in the same game. The 19-year-old also became the first player under 21 to achieve multiple double-figure block games since the NBA began tracking blocks in 1974.

Wembanyama has been averaging 24.7 points and 9.9 rebounds this season in the NBA.

The Spurs’ victory marked their second consecutive win and improved their record to 15-13. San Antonio has now won four of their last five games, showing significant improvement over last season, where they didn’t reach 15 wins until March 17. Wembanyama’s exceptional performance is just another sign of the rising star’s potential to be a transformative player in the league.
