"Wembanyama is the first player in franchise history to score 100 points through the first three games of the season while leading San Antonio to its first 3-0 start since 2019-2020. He is also the first player in league history with 100 points and 15 blocks through the first three games of a season."
"Wembanyama spent the summer exploring the world after playing just 46 games last season due to a life-threatening health scare. Wembanyama had surgery in March 2025 to clear up a blood clot in his right shoulder. The possibility of having his career come to an end compelled Wembanyama to travel. He visited China for a 10-day spiritual retreat to train with the monks at the Shaolin Monastery. He also visited the NASA Space Center in Houston, played soccer in Costa Rica and hosted a chess tournament in Le Chesnay, France."
""It's really something we've never seen before," Brooklyn center Nic Claxton said. "His touch. His length. He can get his shot off whenever. It's a super tough cover.""
