It was Victor Wembanyama’s first game in the NBA, and the French phenom had 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in the 119-126 defeat.

Following the defeat, Wembanyama and the Spurs bounced back against the Houston Rockets.

Wembanyama had 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 1 assist in the 126-122 win over the Rockets.

At times, winning the first game in the NBA can be a herculean task for rookies.

However, it didn’t take Wembanyama long before getting his first victory.

The San Antonio Spurs have missed the playoffs over the last four seasons, but their fate could change this season.

Wembanyama has looked impressive since he started playing for the Spurs in the preseason.

In two games during the regular season, Wembanyama has averaged 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game for the Spurs.

It’s a good start for the rookie, and sure he can improve, but Wembanyama will most likely improve his stats throughout the season.

Wembanyama is expected to become the face of the Spurs for the foreseeable future.
