San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama’s third season started with a bang on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. While he impressed fans with his display on the court, he equally wowed rookie Dylan Harper with his off-court antics.

Wembanyama led the Spurs to a 125-92 win in their season opener. He recorded 40 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks in the sellout of 20,122 American Airlines Center. Harper finished with 15 points, four rebounds and two assists.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year became the youngest player in league history to record at least 40 points and 15 rebounds in a season opener. He overtook the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, who previously held this title, and it was also the fifth time in Wembanyama’s career in the NBA that he scored 40 points.

Last season, he averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.


What’s next for Victor Wembanyama?

Victor Wembanyama’s third season in the league has begun. He missed a significant time last season as a result of a deep vein thrombosis condition in his right shoulder.

Wemby before tip-off stated that his goal is to take the Spurs to the playoffs and finish sixth. While the goal seems audacious, San Antonio has built a competitive team around him, composed of young stars Harper and ROTY Stephon Castle, as well as star guard De’Aaron Fox.

Next for Wemby and the Spurs is another road game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The game is slated for Friday at 8 p.m. ET.
