Overview
- Victor Wembanyama logged 9 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks in roughly 16 minutes as San Antonio beat the Guangzhou Loong-Lions 119-88.
- Wembanyama initiated offense with several give-and-go actions and short-roll reads, connecting repeatedly with fellow seven-footer Luke Kornet.
- He committed six turnovers, including five in the first quarter, reflecting some rust after his layoff for a blood clot that ended last season.
- The Spurs list him at 7-foot-4 without shoes, and teammates and coaches noted a stronger frame following work with Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin Garnett and training in a Shaolin temple.
- San Antonio rested several regulars, used the opener to test lineups including two-big looks, and now visits the Heat on Wednesday.
