It’s Wemby’s world.
Victor Wembanyama may not receive an invitation to Jalen Brunson’s upcoming birthday celebration after his performance on Friday put a damper on Brunson’s career-high scoring night.
Despite Brunson’s impressive 61-point display in a 120-116 overtime loss to the New York Knicks at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, Wembanyama’s team emerged victorious in OT, and the Frenchman tossed the game ball, potentially a keepsake for Brunson, into the stands.

Despite Brunson’s remarkable efforts, Wembanyama shone brightly with an equally impressive performance, notching 40 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 assists on 13/22 shooting. Wembanyama’s 40-20 stat line hasn’t been seen from a rookie since Shaquille O’Neal in 1993. He even sealed the Spurs’ victory with a remarkable step-back three-pointer, extending their lead to 128-124 with just a minute left in overtime.
This win marked the Spurs’ third consecutive victory, a milestone in Wembanyama’s budding career. With his remarkable displays of talent throughout the season, it’s evident that Wembanyama will continue to contribute to more wins for the Spurs in the near future.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez and Lore have informed Sportico that their legal teams are in discussions with the NBA’s legal representatives and are prepared to take action to defend their interpretation of the agreement. It appears that Rodriguez and Lore are gearing up for a contentious battle to secure what they believe to be their rightful majority stake in the Timberwolves from Taylor.
