Victor Wembanyama Sets Career-High Three-Pointers in Cavaliers Loss

Victor Wembanyama just had one of those nights where everything clicked, and it was a showstopper!

Wemby’s Deep-Range Showdown

So, picture this: Wembanyama, the towering French phenom, was on fire from downtown! He nailed six three-pointers in a nail-biting 111-110 victory over Utah. When a reporter told him it was his first time hitting six threes in an NBA game, he was genuinely surprised. “Really? I’ve never made six 3s in a game?” he wondered. With a 6-of-9 shooting from beyond the arc and a solid 8-of-15 overall, he also threw in seven blocks for good measure. Coach Mitch Johnson, standing in for Popovich, was all smiles, saying, “He’s a phenomenal shooter. We want him shooting all those shots.”

Young Spurs Shining Bright

The Spurs’ young guns were on full display, and boy, did they deliver! Wemby led the charge with 24 points and 16 rebounds, marking his third career game with at least five threes and five blocks. Not bad, right? He’s now tied with Kristaps Porzingis for the second most in league history, trailing only Raef LaFrentz. Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle also chipped in with impressive performances. In my opinion, this squad’s future is looking as bright as a freshly polished championship trophy.

Spurs young core tonight despite the loss:

Victor Wembanyama:
24 PTS | 16 REB | 7 BLKS | 6/9 3P | 8/15 FG

Devin Vassell:
21 MIN | 21 PTS | 2 ASTS | 8/13FG

Stephon Castle:
23 PTS | 2 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 8/16 FG

Bright future🔮

Wemby’s Mindset: Keep Shooting!

Despite his recent shooting slump, Wembanyama isn’t fazed. He had a rough night against the Clippers, going 2-for-9 from three, but he’s not changing his game plan. “It’s just to keep playing my game, and my game consists of shooting 3s, too,” he said. He’s got the right attitude—progression isn’t about flipping a switch; it’s more like a slow, steady climb up a mountain. Besides, who doesn’t love a big man who can shoot from deep?

Coach Pop’s Absence: No Sweat for Wemby

The Spurs have been without their legendary coach Gregg Popovich, who’s out due to an undisclosed illness. But Wembanyama isn’t sweating it. “We don’t hear a lot from Pop,” he mentioned, showing confidence in his return. Mitch Johnson has been filling in, keeping things steady on the sidelines. Speaking of coaches, did you catch that wild Curry rumor? Anyway, Pop’s absence hasn’t derailed the team, and Wemby seems unfazed, expecting his coach back soon.

So, here’s the million-dollar question: With Wemby’s shooting touch heating up and the young Spurs making waves, could we be witnessing the rise of a new powerhouse in San Antonio?
