• Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Shines on defensive end Thursday

  11H ago • By RotoWire

  Wembanyama contributed 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, four steals, three blocks and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 victory over the Trail Blazers. The 20-year-old big man posted a game high in steals and blocks while racking up the second-highest mark in rebounds on the Spurs behind Keldon Johnson (11). Wembanyama has been a force on the defensive end this year, and he has accumulated eight outings with three or more combined steals-plus-blocks. However, the 2024 Rookie of the Year has struggled offensively thus far, during which he has averaged 17.7 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 30.8 minutes per game while shooting 41.3 percent from the floor in nine regular-season appearances.

• Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Leads Spurs in blowout loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Wembanyama logged 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-100 loss to the Rockets. The fact that Wembanyama led the Spurs in scoring with only 15 points is a testament to how much the team struggled on the offensive end of the court. The Frenchman failed to surpass the 15-point mark for just the third time this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about an off night for the star big man. Even with this subpar effort in a 27-point blowout, Wembanyama is still averaging 17.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 blocks, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game. The fact that he's only shooting 41.2 percent from the field suggests his scoring numbers should eventually rise as the season progresses.

• Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Matches career high with 20 rebounds

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Wembanyama logged 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 106-101 loss to the Rockets. Wembanyama couldn't find his shot from distance, but he had an efficient offensive game on the interior and contributed five assists. The bigger story was his presence on the glass -- he matched his career high with 20 rebounds -- not to mention a season-high four blocks. The sophomore phenom has yet to put it all together into one massive performance, but that will come sooner than later. He's already posted season highs of 29 points, 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks in three games.

• Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Poor shooting display Thursday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Wembanyama ended with 17 points (5-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to Dallas. Wembanyama finished just one rebound away from opening the 2024-25 season with a double-double, but this wasn't his best performance, as he looked rusty on offense and a step slow on defense at times. The fact that Wembanyama barely played in the preseason was noticeable in the regular-season opener, although matching up with the reigning Western Conference champions was far from ideal to open the campaign. The star big man should figure things out rather quickly, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned after just one subpar game by Wembanyama's standards.
