The San Antonio Spurs haven’t been doing much winning this season. Following their selection of Victor Wembanyama with the first pick in the draft this past summer, that could have been assumed, but many thought they’d be a bit better than they are this season. That said, they’ve been playing better as of late.
They are fresh off a blowout win over the Toronto Raptors in which Wembanyama was absolutely dominant. He became the youngest player to ever record a triple-double with blocks as he turned away 10 shots against the Raptors. He also added 27 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists to his totals.
After the game, Spurs star Devin Vassell jokingly mocked the Raptors, questioning whether or not they realized Wembanyama can block shots.
“I guess it’s not on the scouting report that he can block a shot,” Vassell said via ESPN. “I guess they’ll learn one of these days.”
Perhaps this was a shot at the rest of the league, but regardless, Wembanyama’s dominance shined through.
