Victor Wembanyama Sets Career-High With 50 Points

Spurs Snap Wizards' Winning Streak at 3 Games

Wemby's Offensive Explosion Leads San Antonio To 139-130 Win

Victor Wembanyama put together a historic performance on Sunday night, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 139-130 victory over the Washington Wizards.

The French phenom scored a career-high 50 points on 14-of-24 shooting from the field, including 8-of-12 from three-point range. He also grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out 5 assists, and blocked 4 shots.

Wembanyama's performance was the most impressive by a rookie since LeBron James in 2003. He is the first rookie to score 50 points in a game since Karl-Anthony Towns in 2015.

The Spurs, who snapped the Wizards' three-game winning streak, improved to 14-44 on the season.

Wembanyama's performance was a major bright spot for the Spurs, who have struggled mightily this season.

The 19-year-old is averaging 22.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.4 blocks per game this season.

He is the leading candidate to win the Rookie of the Year award and is considered one of the most promising young players in the NBA.

The Spurs will be back in action on Tuesday night when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.
