Victor Wembanyama Shines with 50-Point Game for Spurs

The young NBA star achieves a career milestone while adjusting to changes in coaching dynamics.

Victor Wembanyama scored a career-high 50 points, becoming the fourth-youngest player in NBA history to reach this mark.
His performance featured eight three-pointers, marking the third consecutive game with at least six made 3s, a first in NBA history for a player also blocking multiple shots in each game.
Wembanyama's scoring surge coincides with acting coach Mitch Johnson's leadership, as Gregg Popovich recovers from a mild stroke.
The Spurs' star has increased his 3-point shooting volume, raising his season-long percentage to 34%, up from 23% earlier this season.
Looking ahead, the Spurs face the Los Angeles Lakers next, a game marking the start of the NBA's Emirates Cup tournament.
