Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Makes history in victory
Rotowire
Wembanyama racked up 41 points (14-25 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 24 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 49 minutes in Monday's 122-115 double-overtime win over the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
The Thunder threw the kitchen sink at Wembanyama in this one, though it didn't stop him from becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a playoff game. The superstar center led all players in points, rebounds and blocks in a career-high 49 minutes. His 24 rebounds were also a career high, and he has now logged seven double-doubles this postseason. While it'll be a difficult performance to replicate, Wembanyama will look to remain highly productive and lead San Antonio to a commanding 2-0 series lead in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Scores 19 points in Game 6 win
Rotowire
Wembanyama finished Friday's 139-109 win over the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 19 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 27 minutes.
Wembanyama wasn't overly aggressive hunting his shot in this one, as the backcourt duo of Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox combined for 53 points. Wembanyama also led San Antonio's starters in blocks and has recorded three swats in back-to-back outings. The star big man and the Spurs will now turn their focus to the Western Conference Finals, where they'll face the Thunder.
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Double-doubles with five dimes
Rotowire
Wembanyama popped off for 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 Game 5 win over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Wembanyama was locked in from the jump, notching a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double by halftime, which put him in the same company as Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the only Spurs with a 20/10 double-double in a half of a playoff game. The Spurs will look to close out the series in Game 6 in Minnesota on Friday.
Wembanyama won't be suspended following his altercation with Naz Reid in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wembanyama was ejected after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul in the second quarter, but that will be the extent of his punishment. With the series tied at two wins apiece, Wembanyama will be in the lineup for Game 5. Before Sunday's ejection, Wembanyama averaged 21.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 5.0 blocks and 0.9 steals while posting 54/36/88 shooting splits through his first seven career playoff games.
