Overview
- De Larrea scored 21 points with five rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Dallas’s 106-122 loss to San Antonio on Sunday.
- The performance came in his third NBA game after only eight minutes across his first two appearances, making it his first major showing at the top level.
- Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 23 points, seven rebounds and four blocks as San Antonio recorded its first win of the season.
- De Larrea’s expanded minutes were driven by the absence of Dallas’s primary players, which allowed him to run the offense and take on playmaking duties.
- Observers say the night could point to a larger role for the Valladolid-born rookie, but the sample is small and team decisions will depend on availability and coaching choices.
