Star, Chris Paul makes a pitch to coaches about selecting Spurs teammate Victor Wembanyama for his first such honor.

Wembanyama logged 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Clippers. Wembanyama's team-high 12 rebounds helped him record his sixth straight double-double Wednesday.

Wemby’s first NBA game in France was a smashing success, as he went off for 30 points in the Spurs’ 140-110 win over the Pacers.

There may be no better nickname in modern sports than ‘The Unicorn.’ That’s what San Antonio Spurs second-year superstar Victor Wembanyama truly is. He’s an anomaly, a mirage… something you only get to see once in a lifetime.

The story, as Buford tells it, goes like this: Claudio Crippa, an international scout for the Spurs, proposed going to see a youth game before checking out Doumbouya. Buford saw Wembanyama play for the first time that day. And the seeds for the Spurs' new master plan were immediately planted.
