The 7-foot-3 French rookie sensation, selected as the No. 1 pick last summer, achieved his first NBA triple-double with an impressive stat line of 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. This outstanding performance propelled the San Antonio Spurs to a convincing 130-108 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Wembanyama’s feat was accomplished in just 21 minutes, making him the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double without a turnover since the 1977-78 season. The 20-year-old phenom surpassed the likes of Russell Westbrook, achieving double digits in points, rebounds, and assists faster in a 20-minute performance than anyone since Westbrook’s 2014 showcase for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Notably, Wembanyama’s efficiency was evident as he shot 6 of 16 from the field, despite missing all four of his 3-point attempts. This performance not only showcased his versatility but also exceeded his previous season high of seven assists.
