San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has wrapped up his first season in the NBA with some eye-catching statistics and performances. The 7-foot-2 center, who has been a revelation for the Spurs this season, will unfortunately miss Sunday’s season finale due to an ankle injury.
Despite this setback, Wembanyama is almost a shoo-in to win rookie of the year honors, boasting averages of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and a league-leading 3.6 blocked shots per game. Coaches and fans have been quick to praise the rookie for his growth and improvement throughout the season.
In his final game as a rookie, Wembanyama played a crucial role in the Spurs’ comeback victory over the reigning NBA champions. This performance solidified his place in the record books as the first rookie to finish a season with at least 1,500 points, 250 assists, and 250 blocked shots.
Looking ahead, Wembanyama is set to represent France at the Paris Olympics this summer and is optimistic about the Spurs’ future prospects. He believes that the team is on the right path to returning to contender status in the league.
