Victor Wembanyama marked his 100th career game in style, facing off against the world’s best player, Nikola Jokić, on the road. The result? A masterful performance by Wemby (35 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, shooting 14/22) led the San Antonio Spurs to a thrilling 113-110 victory over the Denver Nuggets. His defensive dominance, including a crucial stop on Jokić (41 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, but only 15/36 shooting), sealed the win as the Spurs snatched the final possession.
The victory improved the Spurs’ record to 16-18 this season, while the Nuggets dropped to 14-19. Wemby’s first 100 career games are nothing short of historic: he has scored more points than LeBron James at this stage, made more three-pointers than Stephen Curry, and recorded nearly 100 more blocks than Hakeem Olajuwon — the all-time leaders in these categories.
