Victor Wembanyama does it all on the basketball court.
On Tuesday he put his scoring hat on.
The San Antonio Spurs superstar dropped 25 points against the Los Angeles Lakers — in the first quarter. And he sat for the final 4:01 of the stanza.
It was a remarkable scoring output that no other Spurs player has produced in the play-by-play stat-tracking era dating back to 1997-98. That includes the tail end of David Robinson"s career, Kawhi Leonard"s Spurs prime and the entirety of Tim Duncan"s career.
He did it from inside and out and tallied most of those points during a stretch in which he scored 17 consecutive Spurs points.
Wembanyama went 8 of 9 from the field and 3 of 4 from 3 while adding 3 rebounds. The Spurs piled up a 47-30 lead against a Lakers team playing without Luka Dončić, Lebron James or Austin Reaves.
