On Sunday night, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings by a score of 127-125 in California.

2024 Rookie of The Year Victor Wembanyama finished with 34 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and three blocks while shooting 11/17 from the field and 5/9 from the three-point range in 37 minutes of playing time.

Via StatMuse: "Wemby tonight:

34 PTS
13 REB
11 AST
3 BLK
11-17 FG
5-9 3P

The youngest center in NBA history with a 30-point triple-double."

Wembanyama has been taking a lot more three-pointers this season (9.3 attempts per game).

He is on track to become the first player in NBA history to do something incredible.

Via StatMamba: "Victor Wembanyama this season:

24.0 PPG
10.2 RPG
3.5 BPG
3.2 3PM

Would be the first player in NBA history to average 3+ BPG & 3+ 3PM for a season 👽"

With the way Wembanyama has played, many believe he can make the 2025 NBA All-Star Game in just his second season.

In addition, the Spurs have been a lot better this year.

They are the 10th seed in the Western Conference with an 11-9 record in 20 games.

Following the Kings, they will visit Devin Booker and the Suns on Tuesday evening in Phoenix, Ariziona.
