Wembanyama produced a solid all-around performance in the decisive win, and he padded his production with a season-high 12 converted free throws at the charity stripe. His totals could have been higher, but he was used sparingly in the third quarter and was limited to 29 minutes. Through 33 games, Wembanyama is averaging 24.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 blocks.

Rotowire
Wembanyama registered 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 16 rebounds and four blocks in 31 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 loss to the Pelicans.

Wembanyama is averaging 22.7 points and converting 48.9 percent of his shots from the field in three games since returning to the starting lineup.

Wembanyama got a bit banged up during Tuesday's loss, first with a knee-to-knee collision with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and later by rolling his ankle coming down awkwardly on Jaylin Williams' foot after a jumper, but neither issue required a trip to the locker room. He may pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks, though.

Wembanyama returned to the starting lineup Sunday for the first time since Dec. 31.

Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 26.4 points on 52.1 percent shooting, along with 9.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 threes, 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steals over 25.6 minutes per game.
