Overview
- Victor Wembanyama has recorded at least one block in 100 straight regular-season games, a run that ranks third all time behind Patrick Ewing (145) and Dikembe Mutombo (116).
- He maintained the streak in Sunday’s win over Washington, posting 14 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 22 minutes while reaching 500 career assists.
- With 3,000-plus points, 500-plus assists and 100-plus blocks in his first 135 games, Wembanyama joined Michael Jordan as the only players to hit those thresholds that quickly.
- Head coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama will continue to come off the bench on a minutes restriction, with the team evaluating his workload day by day following a left calf strain.
- Wembanyama leads the NBA at roughly 3.4 blocks per game, and his return has coincided with a noticeable defensive uptick for the Spurs after he missed 12 games.
