There’s no stopping Victor Wembanyama this November! Kyshawn George and Washington learned that the hard way Thursday night in Texas.
The French prodigy scored 50 points, thanks in particular to 8 award-winning shots, during San Antonio’s 139-130 success against the Wizards, who conceded their sixth defeat in a row. At 20 years and 314 days old, Victor Wembanyama became the fourth youngest player in NBA history to reach this 50-point threshold behind Brandon Jennings, LeBron James and Devin Brooker.
Coming off the bench, Kyshawn George cannot be ashamed of his performance. Aligned for 32 minutes, the Valaisan scored 12 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, delivered 6 assists and stole 2 balls for a differential of +7. Kyshawn George will meet Clint Capela on Friday in Atlanta for the third Swiss derby of the year. He won the first two for the Wizards’ only two victories to date.
59 points for Giannis Antetokounmpo
Victor Wembanyama, however, was not the most prolific player of the evening. Giannis Antetokounmpo, in fact, scored… 59 points to allow Milwaukee to beat Detroit 127-120 in overtime. The Greek pivot thus sets the points record for this season. His personal best is a 64-point game last season against Indiana.
