Victor Wembanyama
December 2025
Victor Wembanyama marked his return from a calf layoff by posting 22 points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes as the Spurs knocked off top seeded Oklahoma City in the Emirates NBA Cup semifinal, handing the Thunder only their second loss in twenty six games. Coming off the bench to warm applause, Wembanyama immediately tipped in a basket, assisted a Dylan Harper three and later protected the rim against Chet Holmgren, with coach Mitch Johnson praising his relentless but rusty effort and stressing every high pressure possession will accelerate San Antonio’s long term growth.
